As I said - partisan blindness.This has nothing to do with anything being discussed. I have never stated they cant get it wrong - something you have decided to avoid is stating WHY you even think they got it wrong here. At this point I have to assume that it is nothing more than partisan blindness.No one automatically wrote it off. US INTELLIGENCE MADE THE DETERMINATION THAT IT WAS IRAN. Other intelligence agencies agreed. One that I know of wants more proof.And it would have been a weaker position.
It is irrelevant anyway - opining on what the beast method to cover up the bombs is not relevant. The crux of this thread is a blatant falsehood, as already pointed out, and I cannot see a single reason here to disbelieve virtually every national intelligence agency minus the one that has the most to lose (Japan) that this bombing was perpetrated by someone else.
And Japan did not even make that claim - they just want more proof.
Is it likely that a country pulled it off in an attempt to frame Iran to escalate tensions? No. Is it possible? Yes it has been done before. You can't automatically right it off as a falsehood. Israel has proven that they would do almost anything to have Iran get destroyed short of doing it on their own. They won't attack others unless the ones they are attacking is armed with just rocks and bottles.
Why are you purposefully misstating the facts here?
And the U.S. government has never been wrong? If you want to believe what other country's care about... well many other country's don't trust the U.S. government RIGHT NOW, because of Trump, Bolton, and others poor record of telling the truth.
Further, stating most intelligence agencies don't trust us really undermines your point anyway because in this they agree with us in this except Japan - once again the single actor with much to protect here.
It's pretty obvious why they would get it wrong, they are not going to go against anything Israel says or does.
You don't believe it because you have already attached nefarious purposes to actors that you have no idea about. Nothing we know about this points to anyone other than Iran and yet you reject the worlds conclusion that they are behind it because somehow you just know what the intentions of foreign nations are.
