Some analysts argue that the U.S. is trying to start a war with Iran.
The current escalation of tensions in the Middle East is similar to the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which launched the United States’ full-scale participation in the Vietnam War, some analysts and experts argued Tuesday.
"You know, it has that feel to it," McLaughlin responded."If something were to happen in the Persian Gulf right now, you would have to look very carefully at it to make sure that we either had not provoked it or that it wasn't a miscalculation that we were going to use as a springboard for a greater conflict."
Earlier this month, Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton announced that the U.S. would deploy the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East to show “the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force."
