  • I guess you’re right about the international law. But then again, it’s been out the window for a while.

    I didn’t write any conclusions about Iran regime being non evil. But looking at history, you’d be a fool not to see its instability rooted in US/Israel/UK domination goals.

    The excerpts from UN assemblies I saw, Iran was quite repetitive, but spoke much more eloquently than the US. Make of that what you will, in the age of ai slop.


  • I dont know. Generally it gets a bit muddy at such a stage. Are they party to the war? Did they expressly forbid USA from using military bases to resupply from/attack Iran? Did Oman cushly stay silent and complicit playing both sides? Are trade ships that are trading with the enemy, not expressly and officially guaranteed by Oman not valid targets in a strait majorly controlled by Iran (even the Oman territorial waters are a bit silly once you take into account the geography)? (Not talking about people, but about infrastructure and supply chain)

    If anything, Iran, in its desperation, is fighting well against the superest most bigliest ultra fascist state in the making.


  • Strait of Hormuz is not international waters. They are fully allowed to close it, at least on their side of the strait. When people ignore laws, usually there is a penalty and enforcement. Closure here is enforced by missiles.

    Whether Oman is a party in this war (given their harboring of US bases and military assets) is up to debate.
