I would not be surprised if the US military, CIA or some hired foreign mercenary attacked the tankers yesterday. Remember how we got fully into Vietnam, remember our "weapons of mass destruction" there are many other examples of the US committing nefarious acts and then blaming others so we can ramp up our aggression towards other nations. Remember trump saw how Bush's ratings went up when we were on a war footing.
This may be a cynical way of looking at it, but I wouldn't be shocked if it came out that way!
