An incredible coincidence or worse is Russia pushing Iran's Buttons

[putnam6]

It appears that ISIS has taken responsibility. I've got to say that surprised me.

ISIS claims responsibility...

Me too, who knows though. LOL Iran media still says it's Israel and the US. It's unlikely but....

If we follow the motto of this board, we should take care to establish the facts before announcing conclusions.  Speculation's fun, but can point to the wrong person and adds to the noise in the information environment.  None of us here has the security clearances and the political and military contacts (and language skills in Hebrew and Arabic) to do a truly excellent investigation.

Plus, it's early days.  A lot of the investigating is still ongoing.

And that's why I said "hold the horses!  Don't decide on a Bad Guy just yet!"

 we are just discussing this, we aren't establishing US policy unless AI is grabbing a conglomerate of opinions and sources and our leaders are loading the information into a couple of Cray computers. Even then we got what one hundred 2 hundred DI members among the millions of various opinions. 

Besides I like discussing early on, that way when the facts hit we can see who was more accurate, and therefore adds a tad bit of DI board cred LOL. 

But who am I, I thought they would just shut down the country for 4-6 weeks, and then we would be back to normal.
