#Iran or #IRGC or anybody inside Iran should not be delusional on claiming sovereignty over Strait of #Hormuz. #Iran cannot be allowed to levy a protection-racket-levy on ANY shipping flowing through strait of #Hormuz.
#Houthis lost global support and sympathy in their fight against #Saudi due to their impeding shipping via Red Sea, #Iran will face something similar.
Significant global opinion will turn hostile to #Iran if this happens.
#Saddam tried something similar in 1990s. Claiming something which did not belong to him or to #Iraq. Took over 20 years but did not end well for him or his regime in #Iraq. And when he died nobody in the world shed a single tear.
Due to #Houthis actions there is a growing sense that what #MBS and #Saudi Arabia said about Yemen was true.
#Iran is harming itself. World opinion will shift to supporting #IranWar and overthrow of the ayatollah's regime. Stop living in 15th century barbarity.
