Yet, within hours of the attack, the administration comes out laying down 100% blame on Iran for attacking these tankers. Then not even 24 hours release the US sent a destroyer to make their presence known that they will defend our shipping lanes even when the captain of the Japanese tanker says the US evidence is doctored. The captain says they were hit with a missile, there were no Iranian ships or mines like Pompeo is saying.

Just think about that... someone really wants a war between Iran and the US and it isn't the Iranians. |
The US was actually one of the most outspoken nations when it came to condemning the murder of Kashoggi.
Also the US does not want war with Iran. They want to isolate the Iranians economically and politically. However, war would be an absolute nightmare. Not only would the war itself be on Vietnam levels of involvement, but Iran would spread the conflict all over the region to all of the US's allies.
War with Iran just isn't happening. If it did happen, it would have the potential to exceed the Vietnam war, making it the largest US war since WWII. On top of that Iran is a Russian ally, and Russia simply won't allow anyone to engage the Iranians directly on a large scale.
