Nearly a week after the Thursday attacks against a pair of tankers in
the Gulf of Oman, foreign ministers from the European Union are finally making a suggestion that no one else has: an independent investigation.
Within hours of the incident, the US had declared Iran the guilty party,
and Britain has joined in echoing them. Other foreign ministers were
calling to see the full evidence, with Luxembourg’s FM adding that the
“main task of foreign ministers is to avoid war,” and others saying it
would be hasty to draw conclusions without a proper investigation.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini blamed the US for mounting tensions
with Iran, and the union’s leadership clearly is not on board with
taking any direct stand on the tankers, especially to the extent that it
might lead to a war.
The British representative reiterated that her government is “almost
certain” of Iranian guilt. She added that Britain stands ready to act to
ensure the waterway remains open.
What would they do if the independent investigation found any evidence of a false flag?
They’d do what they did about the false flag “chemical attacks” in Syria. Cover up and lie.
So an independent investigation is more eyewash than a real suggestion.
Never thought I’d agree with the EU….
Israel, the US. Take your pick. There’s no difference between them.
