I understand but Iran is not in any position to dictate stuff to US - they simply cannot. So some times you have to accept your limitations and stop being rambo. Initiation of war will be a disaster for Iran and mini disaster for regional countries including Pakistan.
Again, when national pride is at stake, who are we to pass judgement on Iran. They are a proud people with culture, history and tradition. This is not their first rodeo; there are other factors at play here that we yet don't fully understand. I understand the gist of your argument, and it has merit but remember that Iran is the aggrieved party here because the conflict was thrust upon them without any due cause or egregious action.
There is no "Omani territorial waters". Iran is not part of the UNCLOS and does not recognize international navigation routes in the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices are manipulated. That's been the case since day 1 of the war. Actual spot prices are far above 100 a barrel even still now. Futures are bs and irrelevant. Stocks are dangerously low and current shipments barely handle daily demand, never mind stocks. Stop posting crybaby stories from your shared appartment in Italy.
That's patently untrue and obvious for everybody to see. Iran does dictate, but not without any costs. Pakistan doesn't dictate anything, it gets dictated to.
Bro, make it make sense. Either Iran has won the war according to these people or not.
Going up and an oil crash are different things. Oil needs to reach $150 to cause an oil shock and it's currently half that price.
The whole world knows the Emperor has no clothes but they'd rather pretend that he is quite well-dressed because it suits them.
then why was iran willing to share toll with oman ?
If you read my comments earlier, I have mentioned this at least 10 times so far that getting Oman involved in this was actually the stupidest possible move because it goes completely against Iran's narrative and official position.
Another ridiculous comment. Manipulated or not, it's still less than $80 bbl. It's an oil shock when it cannot be manipulated to be this low.
To defelct criticism. If you claim it's just the territorial waters of 2 countries, you can't NOT include Oman. It's either territorial waters legally, or it's a so called made up because it suits the US 'freedumb of navigation'. But Oman is a slave, like most Arabs, and they're afraid to anger their master. Therefore, Iran will claim the full strait and the full persian gulf. What you gonna do about it?
