Although Iran does not border the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, Yemen does, and Iran is closely allied with the Houthis, the Yemeni militant group that previously conducted dozens of strikes against Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea in 2023 and 2024 in response to the war in Gaza.

    Are they shooting those ships without warning?

    So if I warn civilians that I am going to shoot them first, then it is OK to shoot them. According to your advanced moral theories, I assume.

    Edit: Israel blockades Palestine, US blockades Cuba, but it’s terrorism when Iran or Yemen do it. Sure, bud.

    So because “Israel bad” or “US bad”, it is good that the Houthies shoot random innocent ship crews?

      Note: My comment is a joke. Unlike the comment I am replying to.

      Are you still joking, or is it that you never were, because you seem to be tripling down on your original shitty joke-but-not-really-joking.

      EDITED to add: 19 day old account, lol. Should’ve known. Blocked.
