<<THREAD OF WAR>> Iran did not sabotage six tankers near Hormuz but that doesn't mean the situation the region is not dangerous as the U.S. and its allies step up a dangerous escalation. @NarativLive @traciemac_Bmore 
1. Six oil tankers were damaged in a coordinated sabotage attack but there are significant questions about who is really to blame. @narativlive reuters.com/article/us-sau…
2. The likelihood of multiple attacks causing no actual losses suggests foul play by countries or parties attempting to provoke a war with Iran. @narativlive
3. The vessels themselves look fairly undamaged. @narativlive
4. The UAE/Saudi coordinated response quickly followed by Donald Trump blaming Iran looks more like a premise to provoke war than an actual provocation. @narativlive
5. US military build up in recent days includes Patriot missile batteries, the Arlington amphibious vessel, the USS Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, F-15s, F-35s and B-52 bombers. @narativlive p.dw.com/p/3IJql?maca=e…
6. Iran's Revolutionary Guard is threatening to target US bases in the region and video has emerged of rocket deployments. @narativlive
7. Iran faces domestic pressure amid protests and conflict like this confrontation between students and Revolutionary Guard representatives at Tehran University. @narativlive
8. Iran is not without blame but the U.S. and its allies should be cautious of provoking a war. END
