1st off I think 100% that Bolton and the warhawks are trying like hell to start a war..

On flip side I'm not 100% that Trump wants it. However Trump is weak minded and will eventually go along..

As for the "mines" this attack can very much be mines. Modern mines are not like the big steal balls with spikes that we saw in the WW2 movies. They don't have to be under the water line because they are essentially a magnetic explosive device.

You can clearly see in that video that the boat comes up and pulls a magnetic device off the side of the ship. My bet is they are some sort of cannon launched "sticky mines". I say stick like in saving Private Ryan as the idea is the same.

I think they shot these at the ship and they attach to the ship hull then blow up, meaning they likely don't detonate on impact but are triggered remotely.

What the US is calling a "Lambert mine" is simply a type of device. Usually they are hand carried to a ship hull and attach magnetically then explode via a timer or remotely.

People getting caught up on the word "mine" are not realizing what is meant by it. They are thinking old school WW2 shit but that's not what the military is talking about.. A Lambert mine can very much be attached to the side of a ship and blown up.. it's simply a smaller explosive device that can be attached to a ship hull, usually by a diver but in this case perhaps launched by a cannon or maybe even piloted in by drone.

I'm still up in the air on who is doing it. I don't think Iran is this dumb but hey maybe they are. If I were a betting man I'd blame Russia. Russia has a lot to gain by getting the US tied up in a war with Iran. My question is where did that boat go after it pulled the device off the ship. Clearly they must of tracked it..

Russia gets to stir up shit then supply Iran with weapons.. My thoughts is it's 50/50 Iran or Russia doing it. The war in Syria has wound down and Russia wants a excuse to keep their troops in the ME now..
