Therefore, unfortunately, it is simply foolish to talk about whether we should come to the rescue or not given the current configuration of power. Nothing of the sort will be done. And if it is done, it will again be as foolish and ineffective as possible.
As for Iran, Iran suffered a defeat in the war, a powerful defeat not only militarily, but also militarily and politically. Iran is in a state of internal struggle between its elites. Moreover, the elites most beneficial to Russia and China were wiped out during this war. Therefore, most likely, after some time, against the backdrop of defeat, Iran will face further internal destabilization with foreign intervention, including military intervention. There is no doubt that in the event of serious political upheaval in Iran, it will be subjected to additional strikes from Israel and the United States. In fact, the probability of this happening is 9 to 1.
Only Iran's own elite can save Iran, if it follows the example of Tiananmen Square in China. Unfortunately, I cannot predict whether it is capable of doing so or whether it has the necessary strength to do so.
Unfortunately, the seizure of such tankers is not an isolated incident, and therein lies the main danger. Now that the United States has brazenly seized two Russian Navy tankers, there is no doubt that all the so-called allies from the so-called “coalition of the willing” will immediately try to follow suit. It's as if the “big boss” has given the go-ahead, and they will happily rush to do the same, especially since there have already been such examples.
Therefore, unfortunately, it is clear that we cannot protect all the seas and oceans with our rather small fleet. Another seal has been broken, another red line has been crossed, to which, unfortunately, we have no response. They are no longer afraid of us at all and will fear us less and less each time. This is, in fact, very bad, because time is running out, opportunities are evaporating, and the war remains as unwon as ever.
