With the US blockade on Iranian shipping and ports in force along the whole of the southern Iranian coastline, and the railway link to China through the border crossing point with Turkmenistan at Inche-Buren damaged, the route across the Caspian has become the only cargo route for heavy traffic which remains under Iranian sovereign control.

I’m sorry bud, but this is an absolutely ridiculous take.
Russia has been using Iranian Shahed drones to conduct nearly all of their long range drone attacks. In return, Russia has been supplying Iran with Intelligence on the US.
Ukraine didn’t just randomly attack a cargo ship. They are effectively preventing Russia from acquiring weapons. Ukraine warned Iran to stop supporting Russia with drones and to not escalate their support. Iran didn’t listen.
This has everything to do with defense.
???
What the fuck lol
1 I understand Iran is under attack with the US but stop fucking whitewashing them? Iran is run by shitty fuckers too. Your media addled brain has really shown its ass here. You think Iran good now because US bad.
2 They’ve been shipping weapons to Russia THE ENTIRE TIME. Before the US imperialists tried to pull some shit.
3 the fact you went neutral when Ukraine was working to secure arms is again media addled brain shit.
My god
I wholeheartedly disagree with the US launching the Iran War but Ukraine more than any other country on earth has a direct reason to interdict/destroy Iranian supply shipments to russia.

Big “if a bully is mean go tell the teacher” vibes right here.
Fuck off. If someone is aiding someone attacking my people and catches a few fuckin strays seems like it’s their problem huh?
What you’re not understanding is something every other country including Iran understands.
When you sell military arms, tied to an unfolding conflict, you’re taking a risk.
What’s Iran going to do to Ukraine that Russia can’t/isn’t? Talk about completely empty threats.
And why are you so in love with an authoritarian theocracy?

You’re acting like a bozo. You think this is Civ or some shit
Sorry, but I don’t really understand the point you’re trying to make.
Do you think Iran actually poses any meaningful threat to Ukraine, especially given their current geopolitical situation? The US wrecked most of their Caspian Sea fleet a couple weeks ago, so this isn’t even the biggest thing that happened around there this month. They seem like they already have a bunch much more urgent things to focus on than this little event, and probably don’t need any more enemies.
And, don’t forget, Iran has been supplying weapons to Russia for years, which Russia has directly used to kill Ukrainian citizens. And they didn’t start selling these weapons until the war had already started, so they can’t claim to not know what they’re being used for. This strike was a long time coming, and it’s something Iran invited on itself.
Or was your issue when I asked why are you so interested in defending the authoritarian theocracy that currently controls Iran?
Poor innocent victims of imperialisim shipping missiles and trainers to Crimea used to bombard Ukrainian civilians.
Its not anti imperialisim its an arms shipment
