Strait is still closed, you are impotent to resolve that. Genocidal threats, begging for help, counterblockades, general pathetic thrashing. Any timeline on actual solution? This is a costly chimpout for the rest of us.

It worked out great, for everyone involved. Billions would be substantially poorer all around the world if not for the Chinese reaching their current position. You could not have delivered that, you profited along the way. Is ruling the planet uncontested, no matter how much of a heap of crap you make it into, really the measure of success.

Which is why Iran armed and trained Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel
Or, to resist / defend against Israeli aggression. I still don't expect Iranians to be aggressive towards Europeans unless we start it, and I'm not afraid of them having nukes that can reach me. I'm mildly afraid of them not having nukes that can reach you.
Israel, which was on Iran's side during the Iraq-Iran war.
I don't know anything about the period. So Israelis helped Iranians against Iraq, ok. That by itself does not imply anything beyond a transient common interest no longer relevant.

Meanwhile, the IRGC has enough enriched uranium to make several nukes and had delivery systems that could reach Eastern Europe
So what? Iranians are rational, more rational than the US or Israel. Don't launch or abet wars of aggression (extermination?) against Iranians, and you're good. Their handling of this war makes this rather clear; they are disciplined and acting very decently, despite being under existential threat. I'd trust IRGC with nukes, no problem.
Such a twisted mindset, "held hostage" when they can reach you or yours, but perfectly fine if you can reach them (and use that ability at will). It is in Iranian interest to have nuclear missiles aimed at Israeli and American cities, and in my interest as an Eastern European too, since I like my oil imports cheap.
I remembered Girls' Last Tour had a storage units chapter, but skimming it, that is not quite right, or at least ambiguous.
