CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't think a happy ending can be achieved in Iran and that we should have stayed out of the whole affair.

Talks between the US and Iran are called off because of fighting in Lebanon, officials say
Neither Israel nor the militant group signed the agreement — but it is supposed to end their fighting, and Iran has signaled its willingness to risk renewed war in the region for the sake of its interests in Lebanon and its most important regional ally.

Paying Iran the fine is probably cheaper than a permanent escort mission, too. Just something the transport corporations will have to pay and not the tax payer.

"Will the US be able to get Israel to stand down and withdraw?"
Israeli strikes kill 16 in Lebanon hours after ceasefire
Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed at least 16 people on Saturday, Lebanese Civil Defence said, hours after a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect, with Israel saying it was responding to projectiles fired by the Iran-backed group.An Israeli military official said Hezbollah had fired more than 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight, prompting strikes on what the official said were "Hezbollah targets".
The Israeli military, which has occupied swathes of southern Lebanon, said in a statement that Hezbollah's attacks constituted repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement.
Hezbollah also said it remained committed to the ceasefire but would respond to any attempt by Israel to "seize territory or expand its occupation".
The group said Israeli forces attempted overnight to infiltrate the Ali al-Taher hill area in southern Lebanon. It said its fighters engaged them, after which Israel carried out airstrikes inside and outside its declared operational area.

Does anyone believe that Trump knew there was a straight of Hormuz that Iran could weaponize? Wouldn’t that have been a consideration of any competent Commander in Chief?

I have to believe his military advisors told him. Many people think he lelieved thst he would overthrow Iran’s government, and they wouldn’t be in a position to do that kind of military activity. But assessing what he believed is just guessing. I don’t put much faith in those guesses.

Always trust in your gut feelings, Mr. Hedrick. Even if they're wrong 'sometimes'.
