We are living in turbulent times. And the constant negative news coming from the journalistic fraternity is a testament to it. The most recent development is US President Donald Trump attempting to straighten out Iran in the strait of Hormuz crisis. Iran’s new Supreme leader has vowed to not let a single drop of oil cross the strait. This has led to cataclysmic consequences of gas shortage across the globe. Trump obviously wasn’t too pleased with Iran’s decision prompting him to warn Iran severely via social media. The international community is divided over who is right in this matter. Many ‘journalists’ have lost their integrity. They have tried to sway public opinion to what they believe is right rather than the truth. Most of the media superficially showed Trump in the bad light while ignoring what is happening behind the scenes. Even after his resounding electoral wins, the media hasn’t learned, but has consistently tried to misrepresent him to the general public.
They are now saying that America and Israel are the engineers of the strait of Hormuz crisis. They dare not write the truth about the ground reality of Iran’s stubborn refusal to let the oil pass through the strait. It is important to know that the oil doesn’t belong to Iran. It has never been Iran’s as a matter of fact. Iran has illegally blocked international waters violating the UNCLOS(United Nations Convention on the law of the Sea). Article 38 of the UNCLOS states that, “All ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage, which shall not be impeded”. Being ignorant of this, many have risen to question the US’ offensive stance against a belligerent Iran. They willfully ignore the larger picture.
Iran’s government despises America along with Israel with chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” daily. They have enabled proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah to attack Israel and harm her most important ally, America. These are valid reasons as to why America must not ignore such a violent regime. Therefore, Trump took timely action of wiping out their supreme leader for their notorious deeds, starting recently from October the 7th, 2023. While I would be the first person to welcome dialogue and debate of different perspectives, the left’s reasoning has dwindled to a horribly low level. News organizations around the world may try to alter the truth as if America is the aggressor and suggest that Iran has always been a good boy, but that is not the case. The strait of Hormuz must be opened soon for the greater good of the international community. Iran can’t withhold the world’s commodity as if its their own.
