    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?

                So China supports terrorism even if it hurts their own people. That’s sad

                  ? 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.

          This dumbass would’ve said “nazis were attacked first” in the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

              they were attacked first

              “Nazi Germany was attacked first in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”

              the US is making an effort to be diplomatic.

              “Diplomacy” is when you’re actively funding and supporting a genocide and defending your proxy’s escalations

              We are being diplomatic by allowing Israel to do whatever they want and then protecting them from the consequences of their own actions?

              If you actually believed what you said you wouldn’t allow Israel to keep escalating and trying to drag us into it.

          You have a shitty memory. Israelis themselves make the argument that Netenyahu started this by weakening the Gaza border before Oct 7th to reinforce troops in the West Bank. Do Palestinians in the West Bank have the right to defend themselves?

          And bombing a diplomatic building is a war crime, which Israel did when they targeted the Iranian consulate.

              Netenyahu allowed the deaths of over a thousand Israelis because he weakened the border. In ancient times, if any leader had a collosal fuck like this, they would be killed for treason.

              Now idiots like yourself concern troll online so you can keep this fantasy that Netenyahu protects his own people.

          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.
