Of course you are right. Clearly, that's an act of war. But it's also a clever maneuver from Iran, for a war against Iran is not an option. Not from a financial, not from a geopolitical and not from a militarical point of view. America's hands are bend, and the people of it's allied gouvernments not willing to join a massive military strike against Iran. When it comes to Germany, I even doubt that Frau Kanzler Merkel could convince the Bundestag to send recon aircraft into a war against Iran. Since a year ago, I am involved in political discussions on Iran with other citizens, and I can assure you I haven't met someone yet who was willing to support the slightest military action against Iran. The idea of having to go to war, thousands of miles away against a people they don't know and don't care about, makes germans furious. And I somehow have the impression that more and more americans get that attitude, too.

Weve been dealing with Iran diplomatically for 30 years now. Where has it gotten us? As you said, the US has no wish to go to war. Its simply inevitable as no one else will do anything about it. Somehow the US gets crticism for the rest of the worlds agression and failure. I suppose thats the price we pay for being the leader of the world.
