    Here’s what was actually “asked”:

    “We have also engaged with European allies and partners over the past few days and urged them as well to send a clear message to Iran: that escalation is not in Iran’s interest, it’s not in the region’s interest and it’s not in the world’s interest,”

      Asking countries not to retaliate against the US proxy’s escalations — and a bombing of a foreign embassy at that.

          “Terrorism” is when you’re blocking supplies to a genocide lmao. Yemen has mainly just been attacking western-aligned ships, particularly those related to israel, US and the UK — the main ones committing the genocide; they’re not “innocent”, they’re complicit. They’ve reassured that they won’t attack Russian or Chinese ships for example (though that has led to instances of UK ships masquerading as Chinese to not be attacked).

          Ansarallah’s leader, Abdel Malik al-Houthi’s position has consistently been that the blockade will stop when the US support for israel’s genocide of Gaza stops.

          their escalations are not in anyone’s best interest

          Yet the US proxy is escalating by bombing an embassy. They would be talking to israel instead of Iran if they actually cared lol.

            It’s unfortunate that (and by design) that word can be used to describe both based and unbased things.

            The houthis attacked a Chinese oil tanker in the Red Sea. Is China sending supplies to a genocide?

                  ? No Chinese people were hurt from that afaik.

                  And why would that matter? Is a Chinese person’s life more valuable than the Palestinian lives the blockade is saving?

                  What you’re thinking of is nationalism, and the nationalist/fascist party fled to Taiwan in the Chinese civil war lol

      Hopefully the US will take significant actions against Israel, since escalation isn’t in the region’s or the world’s interest. Punishing Israel would be a great way to show the US’s desire for de-escalation. For some reason, I think the US will just keep giving them weapons.

          Lmao, US just begged Houthis to stop. And yes, they were and still are bullying entire world for decades, and they still try to, but now it’s literally crybullying because the times change and now they are being opposed with success. This is not to say they still don’t have a lot for them to go.
