Isn't this all because the usa is supporting Israel and Iran is pushing back against countries supporting the genocide there?

Ah yes Iran, that great bastion of human rights where they throw gay people off buildings and stone people to death.

Iran doesn't give a shit about Palestinians. Instability in the region keeps them in relative power. Everything they do should be viewed in that light.

Iran has politically, materially aligned itself with Palestinian liberation while the united states has aligned itself with Palestinian genocide. Your childish propagandized delusions about their motives are irrelevant. No amount of racist trope pushing is going to change it either.

Instability in the region keeps them in relative power.

how is that so?

Because with stability, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen would have control of the world's trade through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Making tons of money on shipping through the region. Their regional power is de facto because other countries in the region are unstable and can't secure trade through the canal.

how does that consolidate their power? i tought they didnt have direct influence over the canal, and are even trying to set up an alternative?

To anyone visualizing a comically long canal running straight through like 5 countries, you're not actually far off. Unfortunately, it's just a railroad to Moscow.
