But somehow it is a wag the dog moment for you. It's also pretty crazy that you believe this action is a precursor to war. There is absolutely nothing to gain from starting a war or brief conflict with Iran. You and a few others need to actually give Commands some credit and autonomy from who you like to believe are puppet masters.

My critical observation isn't based on a tweet though. It was just a relevant and funny tweet about the situation. 

It doesn't take a genius to see America has wanted Iran out of the paint forever. You can ignore that if you wish but you're only putting the wool over your own eyes. They don't want to destroy Iran by nuking it to pieces, just destabilise it to the point where they can put a pro American government in or at least completely diminish the current one , much like they have been attempting with Venezuela.  

Attacking an oil tanker has far far more benefits to the US or Saudis than it does for Iran. In fact there are no benefits to speak of for Iran doing it.

You can ignore Iranian history and influence in the region, but man that's burying your head. This isn't a country that can or will change engrained government organization through war or conflict. Otherwise, it would have been done a long time ago. This is understood at the highest level, but ordinary citizens still like to throw out this ignorant possibility. Venezuela and Iran cannot be paralleled in any way. You really need more perspective. 

What does the U.S. or Saudi benefit? Look at a map and tell me who along the Gulf has the technology or reason to conduct your conspiracy? 90% are influenced/funded by Iran. The others have to spend money to keep Iranian groups from pushing through their borders to gain the remaining 10% regional influence.

Here is that "no Iranian benefit"... Did you know Iran charges a tariff for certain vessels that want to pass through the Strait? The longer they linger, the more money. Did you know Iran claims full control of the Strait? When nearly 20% of the global oil supply passes through this very Strait, I say Iran has way more to gain or lose!
