The survivors are saying it wasn't an error. That was the point you snipped.

The allegations are that the Israelis didn't like that ship off their shore. They knew it was a spy ship, and wanted it gone. Hence the attack. They didn't destroy it (they could have), they just drove it away. Then apologies all around, and sweep it under the rug.

Obviously with Iran, that wouldn't happen. My point was that war is not an inevitable outcome in those situations. Especially when Iran has no means to wage it against us. They would have to do something else (of which, I do not know). Though China could complicate that if Iran invited them in. Not sure China has the bandwidth to engage both in the middle east and the South China Sea, but maybe??
