He knows Iran’s behind it but he still tries to blame Trump for pulling out of the Iran Deal.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, admitted Sunday that intelligence proves Iranian responsibility for the recent tanker attacks.
Schiff said the evidence is “very strong and compelling” that Iran is behind the attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, putting him in line with the administration on the facts of the case.
“There’s no question that Iran is behind the attacks. I think the evidence is very strong and compelling,” he said. “This was a class-A screw-up by Iran to insert a mine on the ship. It didn’t detonate. They had to go back and retrieve it. I can imagine there are some Iranian heads rolling for that botched operation.”
However, he said this “solid evidence” was not enough to get buy-in on a united response by the U.S. and its allies. He said America is “isolated” on account of the administration’s policies, and even blamed those policies for Iran’s assaults on commercial transports.
