I am just curious as to how and why did the Iranians have a camera set up far away from the action pointing directly at the boats? I understand that the footage from the US was taken from the vessel and by a member of the crew, therefore you can see and say that they were under attack or thought they were and reacted by enabling the cameras. But the Iranians, unless they had cameras on their speed boats, seem to have manipulated the entire issue by sending the boats, and having a fourth one at distance rolling the film … so do you think they intentionally send the boats in provocation and were indeed expecting the US to retaliate by using force then proof in hand (the footage) blame the US for it and create an international confrontation? It certainly seems like something was planned on the Iranian side wouldn’t you say? Your comments and ideas on this.
