Excellent discussion. I especially appreciated the repeated reminder that in closing the Strait of Hormuz Iran is now doing to the world what the US has been doing to Cuba, and what Israel and the US have been doing to Gaza. How does it feel to get punched back? How does it feel to be denied an essential resource. And this blockade is only a few weeks old and has, to this point, not actually impacted supply. Imagine years of a blockade that denies fuel, food, and medical supplies.
After years of restraint in the face of repeated US aggression Iran is giving the world a taste of what we've been dishing out to others. They're offering direct resistance to #US #Imperialism and colonization. The US is and always has been an agent of #colonization. The US is #empire.
It's not enough that we oppose the US #war against #Iran, we have to oppose US Imperialism as a long running practice. We have to oppose Empire.
