U.S., allies in Gulf naval exercise as Israel, Iran face off | Reuters: (Reuters) - "The United States and its allies have launched a major naval exercise in the Gulf that they say shows a global will to keep oil shipping lanes open as Israel and Iran trade threats of war."


This is provocation. The west and the US must stop deceiving themselves: they have not brought democracy, freedom and peace to the middle east.  They have promoted separatism, turmoil, violence, and are responsible for thousands of deaths. (my comment)
