It's the amoral and transactional way he thinks. Since China buys most of Iran's oil, it is affected by the blockade of Hormuz, and therefore it should come and partner with the US to re open it. Doing so will greatly improve relations between China and the US and a mega deal can be announced at the Trump Xi summit in the near future.
was it unprovoked? Think back to October 2023, I'm not arguing if Iran's actions were right or wrong. Iran backed Hamas did kick start this Israeli response. Let's put morality aside for a minute, I'd totally understand if the Iranian regime fulfilled its obligations to its own people before involving itself in becoming the champion for Palestine and Gaza. Your first priority must be your own citizens.
October 2023 is the result of Israel's violent and oppressive occupation of Gaza, which began in 1967. Iran isn't the primary actor in that conflict, contrary to Israeli propaganda. Same story with Lebanon. Yes Iran did insert itself into those on-going conflicts as part of its forward defense strategy, which itself was a result of the Iran - Iraq (in reality Iraq GCC US Israel) war in the 1980s.
Well Israel, USA, GCC have been a major player in the destabilization of even more areas via Taliban, Alqaeda, ISIS, Rapid Support Forces, Phalagists, Kurds etc. If militias are halal for them then they can be halal for Iran too.
Brother, I would ask you not to fling around the term "Arab" like this. You really mean Arab states or Arab elites and should clarify as such. The common non Gulfie Arabs have been suffering for generations.

Can one day middle Eastern nations just accept responsibility for the shit shows that often occur there and not blame the Jews. How weak of a nation can some be when a few million Jews and support from the USA can destroy a nation
