Berkshire really is a prize one. I like how the fraudian has a still from the US video release as the main picture for the article (and for the link from their "front" page) as if the blurry still image is somehow "Evidence" of Iran's guilt and to immediately suggest that what J.C. said in the headline is immediately and obviously false. Fearless, investigative journalism indeed. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/15/corbyn-no-credible-evidence-of-iran-role-in-tanker-attacks The FCO had said: “No other state or non-state actor could plausibly have been responsible,” and pointed to a “recent precedent for attacks by Iran against oil tankers”. Wow. Talk about circular arguments. First off, "No other state or non-state actor could plausibly have been responsible". REALLY? WHY NOT? Then to validate that assertion with reference to "recent precedent for attacks by Iran against oil tankers" that is actually just "We said they did it, never showed any evidence, so we'll just assume it's a fact" is deceit of the first order. The video looks to me like the boat is approaching the tanker to see if they need help, then they are either told "No, please disengage" or they see a mine and decide to move off. That's just my impression of course, but one thing is for sure, it doesn't prove a bloody thing. This rush to what seems like war is reminiscent of the lead-up to Iraq. Very worrying.
