Arab countries must understand that Iran’s patience has finally run out.
For too long, Iran exercised strategic restraint and forbearance in the face of repeated provocations. That tolerance, however, was consistently misread as weakness. Those days are over. Iran will no longer play a game in which its goodwill is exploited and its security is constantly undermined.
Over the past four decades, many Arab states have actively supported or enabled nearly every major act of aggression directed against Iran. When hardline, anti-Iran administrations took power in Washington, these countries felt emboldened and moved openly to back hostile policies. When more moderate American administrations emerged, they paid public lip service to “regional peace” and “dialogue,” while quietly working through extensive networks of lobbies, PR firms, think tanks, and media outlets to steer U.S. policy back toward sanctions and confrontation.
They worked systematically to sabotage the JCPOA, hosted American and other foreign military bases explicitly oriented against Iranian interests, provided safe havens and operational platforms for Israeli intelligence and Mossad activities, and faithfully amplified Israel’s most toxic narratives about Iran. Behind closed doors, as revealed in leaked diplomatic cables, senior Arab officials urged the United States to strike “the head of the snake", including recent calls to destroy its navy. All the while, they rejected or undermined every serious Iranian initiative aimed at d��tente and normalization.
Iran has taken note of this pattern. The era of unilateral restraint is ending. Arab capitals should recalibrate their approach accordingly before the current trajectory leads to far more dangerous confrontations.
Araghchi’s tweet reflected an understanding in Tehran, likely based on what they heard from Pakistan, that if they took a positive step by opening Strait of Hormuz, US would reciprocate by lifting the blockade. But Trump kept the blockade in place, and through his many tweets, suggested that Iran was surrendering on the nuclear issue.
This has only fed Iran’s suspicions about Trump and that Islamabad like Geneva is a diplomatic ruse before another military attack. The door to diplomacy is not closed, but it has now become considerably more difficult. Deliberately or not, Trump has undermined diplomacy and raised likelihood of more war.
With support of the European Legal Support Center a criminal complaint against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was filed at the Office of the Federal Prosecutor in Karlsruhe for aiding and abetting acts of genocide.
The Federal Prosecutor must respect the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and initiate investigations on potential crimes if sufficient grounds for suspicion are apparent.
In an over 100 pages long criminal complaint the lawyers provide extensive evidence for the predicate crimes under the Code of Crimes against International Law (CCAIL) namely the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed by Israel.
Furthermore, the complaint provides extensive evidence for aiding and abetting acts of genocide by German officials through the approval of arms deliveries.

Iran has survived with its oil exports sanctioned to a minimum for 47 years.
I don’t think it’s Iran that is going to be under pressure by a complete blockade of the Strait.
