Why don't European and Asian allies help the US re-open the Straight of Hormuz?
People are fed up—do they even notice?
From my perspective, Iran is rightfully being punished for (really decades of human rights violations) specifically, killing 30,000+ of its own people who were protesting just 6 weeks ago for rights and privileges that most in the West take for granted everyday. I remember that in early 2022, the killing of 30,000 people constituted genocide to many people, in the context of Israeli actions in Palestine. So I don't understand, Iran has just committed atrocities on its own people, and doubled down by restricting freedom of navigation for everyone else by closing the straight.
My question is, why do Europeans value sticking it to Trump more than standing up to Iran? As moral standard bearers of the world, why does it seem like Europeans just value the energy access over punishing a nation who kills their liberal population en masse?
Please keep it respectful, I'm here to get a better understanding of what people I disagree with are feeling. Thanks
