everyone’s best friend, Israel, being responsible for attack on joing US/UK base could lead reasonable people to reassess friendship. USS Liberty did not cause such re-evaluation.

Iran denied firing it.

    Not only did you horridly editorialize the headline of the article, you also made up claims that weren’t there. This isn’t criticism, it’s just misinformation.

    For the people who want to know what the article actually said, here it is in full:

    NATO’s Rutte says still assessing Iran missile type in Diego Garcia strike

    NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said he could not confirm whether missiles fired toward Diego Garcia were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles and that the alliance is still assessing the situation.

    “We cannot confirm that at the moment, so we’re looking into that,” Rutte said in an interview with CBS News.

    “We are still assessing, but if it is true, it means they already have that capability. If it is not true, we know they are very close to having that capability,” he added.

    He said US President Donald Trump’s efforts to degrade Iran’s missile and nuclear capabilities were “crucial" for global security.

    Rutte warned that Iran obtaining such capabilities would pose “a direct threat … to Israel, to the region, to Europe, to the stability in the world.”

      I did take original quote from FB post. But Rutte is a subhuman demonic pig fucker. with all of the warmongering garbabe boiler plate you quoted, he would definitely stretch all credibility to exaggerate Iran threat, if it were within reasonable possibility to do so.
