The incident has cut global oil supplies by 5% and prices have soared.

At this site we are often told in comments not to trust intel...now we have an article that is from our intel...are we to discount it or in this case believe it...not sure any longer. please clarify
A suggestion.
Wait until tomorrow, or so, when the intel comes out that the first intel was false and there was no attack. That truth likely will come out, and be denied of course, after Iran has been turned to rubble with many dead people including some of the attackers. A lesson from Iraq II perhaps?
Following Iraq II, the ramifications of which are still going on with people still dying from that useless unjustifiable and criminal war, people should automatically doubt what their government says and of course refuse to be a part of murdering innocents while losing their own children in the process.
"Wait until tomorrow, or so, when the intel comes out that the first intel was false and there was no attack. That truth likely will come out, and be denied of course, ..."
You either really dumb, a fellow traveler or a foreign agent. There is just no other way of putting, it.
Did you forget the lessons of Iraq II so soon?
