but the American peopleshould rest assured

we have high confidence

with respect to whoconducted these attacks.

believe the US intelligence,

others, like Germany andJapan, aren't so sure.

tells CBN News the intel is convincing.

to pull off attacks like this

for ships that are underway

using the means thatappear to have been used,

and, by the way, Iran has said

they want to shut down the flow

of maritime traffic throughthe Strait of Hormuz.

near the area wherethe attacks took place,

is critical to global oil supply.

passes through the narrow passage.

to defend American interests.

and we see Russia andChina coming together.

is something disturbingly reminiscent

of the kind of accelerating drumbeat

that got us into the war in Iraq.

does not want war with Iran,

but is considering thefull range of options.
