Anti-Iran narrative

Iran's seizure of ships near the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on civilian vessels prove Tehran is a destabilizing force the world can no longer ignore. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are right to take a harder line, and the U.S.-Israel alliance is the only credible check on Iranian aggression in the region. Letting Iran strangle a waterway that carries a fifth of the world's oil is an economic and security catastrophe.
