The Hormuz issue proves that the west never had an ability to economically sanction Iran, au contraire Iran can actually sanction us - and they are.
This is what real sanctions look like. The west broke the deal, attacked like terrorists, and are now being sanctioned.
who do you call "the west", please leave us out of the nonsense from israel and the usa, we have nothing to do with this madness and refuse to be a part of it.
> Iran can actually sanction us
Who's us?
> This is what real sanctions look like
You mean raising the price of oil and gas for the worlds largest producer of both oil and gas?
> attacked like terrorists
Attacked the country who took 'protection money' and used it to build up enough conventional munitions to make stopping their program prohibitively costly.
The west could easily start to sink ships and stop global trade. It would likely be the start of WWIII.
That's not what a sanction is. Iran has been subjected to sanctions for a number of decades.
Correction - Israel and the US broke the deal, and now the rest of us in the west are also being sanctioned
