Did Iran really strike first without a reason or is it BS (like I think it is) and the US is saying they struck first?

    I wasn’t really sure, so I went looking to Al Jazeera:

    aljazeera.com/…/why-have-us-iran-strikes-resumed-…

    According to their reporting, all sides have exercised some violence throughout the ceasefire, but the most recent clash was primarily initiated by ships traveling in an area that Iran had labeled a no-go zone. The ships refused to comply with orders to change course, so Iran shot at them.

    In the future if you have questions about what’s going on in the Middle East and are looking for a version that isn’t heavily biased towards US propaganda, Al Jazeera is a pretty reliable source.

      Just FYI al Jazeera and al mayadeen are qatari funded. They are not without their biases and qatar has been hit by Iranian ordnance.

      Still much better than like cnn though.

    The US started a war with Iran by assasinating their leader and murdering school children.

    No attack by Iran in unprovoked until the US formerly surrenders.

      Israel assassinated their leader with the help of the US. The US murdered the schoolchildren all by themselves.

    It’s safe to assume it’s BS, coming from this administration.

    It’s just Trump getting close to a microphone: chaos, corruption, cruelty.

      I used to watch NBC with Lester Holt and it was fair to each side. Now it the new guy it seems the whole network bent the knee. Only one who I haven’t really seen do it is ABC. Though I usually watched that channel for Kimmel.

    When? This most recent round? It seems like Iran attacked some ships through the straight, which, I may be wrong was still, for better or worse, locked down by them. But this whole fiasco was started by the us and Israel.

    If I am wrong on the “straight” details please let me know!
