I seem to remember somebody smart saying World War III would be an economic one.

Einstein said WWIV would be fought with clubs

Sanctions are not acts of war.

Tell that to those under sanctions. Prove Iran put the mines there.

Well blowing up shipping is definitely an act of war so if the Iranian state is wanting to give the US an excuse for hostilities then they are getting off to a great start.

Prove it. Duchess suggested a false flag operation which the USA has a history of. You can't rule that out.

“So it could have been pretty much anyone then, obviously Iran or one of their fellow travellers springs to mind, but without going all ‘tin foil hat’ there are any number of actors in the region who benefit (in their opinion) from raised tension and even open conflict between the US and Iran.”

Well it is and that’s all I’m saying but obviously it would also be an ideal opportunity for anyone in the region that doesn’t have Iran’s best interests at heart, and there are many that fit that bill including the US.
