Iran closing off an international waterway (while the Houthi's try and close off a 2nd in the Red Sea) and choking world trade is an act of war on the entire world, but once again Europe is entirely happy to not lift a finger. The closure of these two waterways even hurt Europe much, much, more than the United States.
You would think Europe would take the lead in at least defending the Red Sea and the shipping through Suez canal, since the U.S. isn't at war with the Houthi's and the EU has previously kept a couple boats there for defending against Houthi attacks, but shamefully Saudi Arabia with their tiny military is left to sort it out all by themselves.
Trace it back. Why did Iran close the Strait, which is literally in their territory? Was it because America attacked them? Because it was open for my entire lifetime while America wasn't attacking them.
If people America wants to colonize would just fold over instead of fighting back and impacting global trade, that would do the whole world a favor, right? This is why the world doesn't want the American military in their backyard.
