Iran has been indirectly responsible for terrorist attacks on innocent cargo ships.
The US is just trying to get other countries that communicate with Iran to relay the message that their escalations are not in anyone’s best interest.
"Terrorism" is when you're blocking supplies to a genocide lmao. Yemen has mainly just been attacking western-aligned ships, particularly those related to israel, US and the UK — the main ones committing the genocide; they're not "innocent", they're complicit. They've reassured that they won't attack Russian or Chinese ships for example (though that has led to instances of UK ships masquerading as Chinese to not be attacked).
Ansarallah's leader, Abdel Malik al-Houthi's position has consistently been that the blockade will stop when the US support for israel's genocide of Gaza stops.
Yet the US proxy is escalating by bombing an embassy. They would be talking to israel instead of Iran if they actually cared lol.
The houthis attacked a Chinese oil tanker in the Red Sea. Is China sending supplies to a genocide?
Probably the result of some UK ships masquerading as Chinese in the Red Sea to not be attacked. China has not complained about it though, and sure as hell hasn't bombed Yemen in response, unlike the western crybaby countries.
So China supports terrorism even if it hurts their own people. That’s sad
? No Chinese people were hurt from that afaik.
And why would that matter? Is a Chinese person's life more valuable than the Palestinian lives the blockade is saving?
What you're thinking of is nationalism, and the nationalist/fascist party fled to Taiwan in the Chinese civil war lol
The blockade hasn’t saved any Palestinian lives. It is just escalating the situation.
The fact that the US is crying this hard about it means it is successfully pressuring them and their proxy.
Again, if the US actually cared, they would just stop funding and supporting the genocide.
The US doesn’t negotiate with terrorists
Yet they're funding and supporting them? What a weird government
The attacks on the cargo ships that are not related in any way to the Gaza situation? The US isn’t funding those terrorists.
Biden bypasses congress to send weapons to the israeli terrorists faster
That is patently untrue
