Yes Corbyn does have some very dodgy ‘friends’ and does enjoy siding with anyone but Britain a lot of the time.

Also i saw the footage and it definitely shows a boat of people doing something very suspicious to a tanker.
I do think it is probably Iran and i’d be inclined to believe US military intelligence.

However on this issue i think Corbyn is right.
Extreme caution needs to be exercised.
We DO NOT want to rush into war with Iran.
It would be massive and hugely costly and bloody with no quick victory.It would play out in Iraq and Afghanistan too.
Iran is not like Iraq.It is a lot bigger with a much bigger population.
Its navy has a tactical advantage due to its location and the Persian gulf(an important oil route) would become a huge war zone.US ships could get trapped in there.
Iran has a big arsenal of missiles and a bigger army too.
Let’s try not to get into a war there.
I don’t think Trump wants war but the war mongers alongside him do.
It’s a dangerous situation and everything should be done to calm tensions.
