The US has been trying to woo Ansarallah out of their Red Sea blockade by diplomatic means recently. Expanding that same technique looks like a solid move. Keep upping the economic pressure on the US and the zionist entity.

MODERATORS
Yeah, Ansarallah showed that US is completely powerless to prevent the blockade and it hits Israel where it hurts.
making it difficult for Israel to escalate the situation further.
They’ll find a way
Excellent breakdown though, I’m impressed with Iran’s restraint so far, definitely coming off as having the moral high ground.
Yeah, Iranians are acting like the adults in the room here.
Aged like milk.
Not that they don’t have the right to retaliate and more countries should be trying to stop the genocide, but I just hope civilian casualties are minimal tonight and in the coming days.
Let's wait and see. The axis of resistance has been incredibly measured for the last 30 years and they are racking up the wins via patience and counter-intelligence. The fact that Iran sent drones that Israel could see coming with hours of time to prepare says to me that this operation might not have damage as its primary objective. Alternatives include testing responses from other players (like Jordan activating it's patriot system to protect Israel), or intelligence gathering on capabilities and readiness, or testing out some specific technologies, or easing political tensions domestically.
Iran has threatened to retaliate for suspected Israeli airstrikes on its consulate in Syria's capital Damascus on April 1 that killed seven Revolutionary Guards officers including two senior commanders.
"Suspected" Reuters? Absolute shit rag
