Still not sure whether Iran did this or not but I sure hope they actually didn't. We sure as Hell don't need another costly war over flimsy evidence of something happening. However, if they did do it then they must be held accountable even if it means war, unfortunately. Keep in mind though that Iran is not Iraq and it's doubtful Russia will just sit idly by if we actually invade Iran as we did Iraq.
Update:
Tanker hit was Japanese owned. Owner says Trump admin is spreading mis-information about what happened (keep in mind that Iran and Japan are buddy-buddy)

Trump administration is only "spreading" what the so-called experts have led him to believe. If he knew it were false information (which it very well may be or not be) he wouldn't be spreading it (he's not CNN or the BBC, after all lol). Don't use this as yet another pathetic excuse to bash our president.

Trump on the shooting down of the drone:
"I would imagine it was a general or somebody who made a mistake in shooting the drone down."
"Fortunately, that drone was unarmed. It was not -- there was no man in it, it was in international waters but we didn't have a man or woman in the drone, we had nobody in the drone. Would have made a big, big difference." -Trump
As always, he has the best words. Lolz, you people.

You want to murder hundreds of innocent refinery workers who are just doing a job to support their families over an unmanned drone? WTF is wrong with you, Surt.
Thankfully Trump seemingly doesn't agree with you.
Trump seems to be being intentionally vague about what he plans to do... Just kept saying "we are very prepared for Iran." I'm not at all ruling out a war at this point. It's not even just a Trump thing... The GOP has been banging the war drums over Iran for years.
The only solace I take is that Trump has a tendency to talk tough initially and then later back down. And he does generally want to be popular... And probably realizes after Iraq just how unpopular a new middle Eastern war would make him. But if the situation continues to escalate the way it is, a war seems not at all impossible to concieve imo.

I was kidding, I don't actually want to do it.
Though it's no different than the casualties of innocents we rack up when we use drones. Obama and Trump have tons of blood on their hands.

And does Iran need to take any responsibility at all for what is going on?
