    So… they’re supposed to just sit there passively and let Israel invade their country and murder their people?

    And Iran says they will close the Strait if the US does not constrain their IDF allies.

    Maybe don’t include conditions over other non present entities in your MoU than?

      All the times Western allies backed bullying of each other for oil and other natural resources, with the bald-faced lies they use as justification and we, the public that pays for it with tax dollars and bodies, and you have the gall to say non-Western alliances have no right to support allies that are being genocided by a Western vassal-proxy state. Peak genocide brain.

        I didn’t say that. I absolutely am in favor of Iran closing the Strait in response to Israel bombing Lebanon. I was contrasting the Western narrative with a non-Western one that is nearly identical to highlight the absurdity of the claim as a reason to cancel the MoU.

        The MoU specifically included US allies needing to stop bombing Lebanon. Those US allies were not at the table and didn’t stop bombing Lebanon. Therefore the US violated the MoU and the Strait was closed.

          That’s not how that read, to me.
