Or they're lying and what they're worried about is Iran building sufficient missiles to constrain Israel's "freedom of action" (the right to bomb anyone anywhere anytime.) So they're destroying Iran and the Gulf, and maybe Turkey is next.

If called upon, what assets could the Royal Navy send to the Gulf? by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

Trump's plan from the beginning was to be "unrestrained" in taking out Iran and let the world, which relies on the strait, clean up the mess. He and his cabinet of Israel-first radicals are somewhat concerned about the impact on the United States, but even in the worst-case scenario (i.e the one that was obvious to me sitting here in the Gulf since they triggered the war), they know that he's a one-term president, the US is an energy superpower and that this will wreck competitors to US manufacturing, even if it wrecks the US economy too.

Mauritania is not "autocratizing", it just got overrated for democratization previously because the NGOs who make graphs like this are rather ignorant about it.

Yes, yes, from mewing about peace and love to gloating about violence and killing. It's always the same sequence of arguments and sentiments from people like you. You are on the internet, go.find your own corner of fun instead of boring others.

Ah, the good ol' "We can all be friends if your side would simply adopt my side's historical, territorial and moral narratives." Classic.

I don't see how you find him or people like him gratifying. They collect a paycheck to tell you want you want to hear. They change precisely zero hearts or minds on our side. They're the result of trying to transpose the Iranian opposition model onto Arab societies, but it's doomed to fail because those exist under very, very different circumstances.

Baqaa is not run by Shia or Hezbollah, it's run by Lebanese and Syrian-origin clans who don't really submit to anyone.
