#2 Relax, jpal (and Herb). We are not going to war over a drone. The sanctions are working, Iranian economy is hurting, the pressure is building on the Mad Mullahs. Let them sweat.

#3 Iran did the same tanker and shootdown attempts in the late 80s. They are desperate to try to force the powers to stand down and let them make some money.

Keep the screws tight. Let the drones die and kill any fast boats targeting tankers. No need to do more than that at the moment.

#4 Iran's brinkmanship is a play to reinstate the JCPOA. It comes just days ahead of the date Iran's enriched uranium stockpile will exceed the limits of the old JCPOA.

They just want Trump to drop the sanctions.

#5 I think that the mullahs, as well as most of the politicians in the world, don't know how to deal with DJT.

He is so much tougher than any president in my lifetime including Reagan. Given the circumstances of the cold war that's probably not a comparison that can be made, but DJT, like RR, doesn't give a $#!t about the so called niceties.

A real breath of fresh air.
