      Not disagreeing with that kind of criticism, I think the escalation is serious and directly linked to a refusal to stop the Palestinian Genocide and/or similar tactics in Lebanon. Indeed the “west” often refuses to even acknowledge there is a genuine geopolitical connection between the two.

      Thus we face the prospects of the red sea and the gulf of oman becoming genuine war zones because the “west” is blithely pretending like red lines haven’t been crossed for the relevant geopolitical powers in this region.
