What happened to Trump threatening to invade? This is the one situation that intervention is called for.
The US armada took a while to reach the Gulf. The air strikes will most likely happen this weekend.
No situation justifies external interference, especially not by the US, which has done more than its fair share of invading and then just making things worse for everyone, like in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Justifies? What a privileged position.
It is great shame that fascist US regime is the only real hope and ally of Persian people today, but it is what it is.
(Israel too, but Israel alone cannot do much).
(But I'm sure EU will send a strongly worded letter any day now)
Define “external”?
External to the planet?
The hemisphere?
The continent?
The lands previously a part of a former empire?
The lands that a country lost to a war?
A country border drawn arbitrarily (straight!) by an English Lord hundreds of years ago?
A country border not everybody agrees about?
A country border defined to keep out intervention more than to protect?
A country border that is porous and is walked across daily by people that aren’t even sure where it is?
Etc…
At some point you may release that humans live on both sides of lines that often exist only on maps, and serve only to keep people servile to autocrats.
Autocrats whom make sure that their schools teach the importance of borders.
