Don't forget Iran also forced the spread of it's religious ideology across it's neighbors, leading to several Arab countries to denounce the regime.
And it even caused the Iraq-Iran war, that resulted in the death of half a million people.

True

>America and Israel attack regime

True

>Regime does terrorist stuff, attacks Arab neighbors, cluster bombs civilians, blackmails Strait

True

>We ask Europe to help open the Strait, they decline, stating it is not their concern

True but not entirely surprising. Imagine having a "friend", then antagonizing that friend for almost 2 years(tariffs) and it's screwing with their ability to be economically stable. Afterwards, doing something that completely craters their economy and increases the rate of inflation(attack Iran). Now we're surprised they don't want to help?

>Oil prices skyrocket

True

>"How could America do this?"

True. America got baited into attacking Iran with improper planning, resource procurement, etc. Literally the most incompetent people who you would never want heading up this venture are in charge.

We all knew this would be the result and that's why America is deservedly getting the blame. There's nothing wrong with wanting to overthrow the regime. However, it should have been something that should have been planned years in advance. We know it wasn't because they're running out of missiles.

Again, American deserves 100% of the blame for this... If the failure of previous regime change attempts wasn't reason enough to hold off, the lack of supply of armaments should have pumped the brakes. If that wasn't enough, the dependency on foreign adversaries like China for raw materials and alloy manufacturing of said armaments should have derailed any such plans.

Now we're hearing rumors of wanting to bomb desalination plants as if that is not a genocidal act of unprecedented proportions. Serious amateur hour stuff which is a huge departure from previous operations levied by the States. A visible downgrade in competence that cannot be hand waved away.
