The US certainly has a long history of doing terrible shit but the facts are really clear here. Iranian proxy forces are trying to sink civilian ships. There’s not any moral ambiguity about those actions, civilian ships are not legitimate targets. You can’t go around trying to blow up everything in a major shipping lane and then not expect a substantive response. Claiming the US is at fault for reacting to this escalation from the Houthis, or that Iran has any kind of moral superiority when it too has a long history of doing terrible shit (and its proxy forces are actively engaged in terrorist attacks against civilian ships), just does not make sense. It feels like maybe your hatred of the US is clouding your assessment of the situation.
