1. Pompeo is right. Yemen is more than 1000 km from oil fields.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.15.19)
While Iran coastline is 200 and 300 km from oil installations.

It is inconceivable that Houthis posses drones with 1000 km range and much less so having the technological know how and sophistication to control multiples of them in a successful coordinated attack.

It is much more likely that drones attacked directly from Iran at a vastly shorter distance.
2. they grow more frantic & desperate by the day
Cameron   (09.15.19)
Trump's strangling of their economy beginning to truly crunch.
3. Sadly it seems, that unless the Iranians blow up something
Manitou   (09.15.19)
really Big & American (and kill scores of US citizens in the process), our Main Man Trump won't dare to act decisively.
The Art of the Deal is his guiding light and he came to believe his own hype.
Unfortunately people ready & willing to die in millions for their deranged, Islamic faith aren't very concerned with "deals", no matter how good merchants they otherwise may be.
4. Paper Tiger Iran failed in all it's attempts to attack
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.15.19)
Superpower Israel.

Furthermore, Paper Tiger Iran suffered severe blows from Superpower Israel.
5. Fired From Iraq
San ,   Sedalia Mo   (09.15.19)
Most likely fired from Iraq by Iranian allies or Iranians themselves.
6. Remember Pearl Harbor
Zionist forever   (09.15.19)
Assuming the US did destroy a few strategic targets the Iranians would then have two options.

1) Try save face by making lots of threats maybe just fire a few missiles into the air but not at any individual targets.
Then that’s it no further escalation by the US or Iran game over.

2) US destroys a handful of strategic targets and Iran retaliates by firing on US bases or ships
The result is that the US will then bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, no boots on the ground but they will destroy Iran and settle for nothing short of regime change.

The Iranians need to remember if they mess with the US they might be able to do some damage but they will lose in the end.
7. Okay Mr. Pompeo, show us the proof.
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.15.19)
Please show us the video evidence or radar evidence that the missiles or drones came from Iran. That's all we ask: proof.
8. Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (09.15.19)
Saudi-Arabia and Iran have many similarities,apart from sunni "islam" and shiite"islam.They both are a distater for their own people. They both belong to the Organization of islamic Cooperation/the criminal "islam" worldcaliphate,a quarter of humankind/the human world-population.They both have an ideology "islam" which wants to submit the world,since 632, from Mecca, whether in a sunni or/and shiite way. They both are dictatorships and have the sharia.
9. Iran a source of instability all over.
Sam ,   Montreal   (09.15.19)
West has to increase sanctions, take Iran on militarily and stop showing they are chicken because Iran is leading US and Europe by the nose. After attacking
Saudi oil supplies what does it take to act against Iran.
10. Ynet continues to pusher Iranian propaganda from Reuters AP
(09.15.19)
11. HOPE TO SEE THE MOTHER OF BATTLE BETWEEN SAUDIS AND THE
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (09.16.19)
Mullahs soon. The world should thank the Saudis for ruining the world with their backward religion of hate. There is nothing positive in this ideology being Shia or Sunni for progress of human beings. It is just a ticket for death.
12. Is the Ayatollah and Mullahs insane
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (09.16.19)
Are the mullahs and Ayatollah insane, do they seriously think that they can destroy the US Carriers, and US military in the region, if they do attack US forces it will be suicide for the Ayatollah, look what happened Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Usama Bin Laden, they are history.If the Ayatollah does US forces he will be ripped to pieces by his own people. Iran likes to have visions of grandeur, and fantasize about destroying US, dream on.
