The world should never forget the 165 innocent schoolgirls whose lives were extinguished in a brutal American attack on an elementary school in southern Iran. Nothing can justify such an unjustifiable atrocity—a war crime for which the perpetrators must be held strictly accountable.

Utmost criminal threat of nuking a nation. Resonates with previous abhorrent threats of annihilating a civilization or taking them back to the 'Stone Age.' He keeps failing to get two points: Iran cannot be forced to "sign the agreement fast", hence any reckless escalation with that aim in mind only faces Iran's decisive response. And what cannot be gained on the battlefield will never be won at the table.

See how a narrative of disinformation is constructed: As one might expect, it begins with Fox News fabricating an absurdity like: 'Kamikaze dolphins. The Persians want to strap mines to dolphins to weaponize the strait. These rogues are desperate.' It finds its way to Kaitlan Collins' show on CNN, where her guest amplifies it; the hawkish New York Post picks it up, and it goes viral, reaching JIJI Press in Japan. This is effectively more than just disinformation; it is sheer insanity, showing how desperate the Americans are to twist their own failures by resorting to such a nonsense invention with the help of rogues at Fox News.

Rest assured, there is no 'study' underway; otherwise, given the concrete evidence, the administration would have to hold itself accountable—and that will never happen. How could an administration that sanctioned 11 ICC judges and prosecutors over war crimes investigations into Israeli and U.S. officials, comfortably attacked an impartial judicial institution in an affront against the rules-based international order, and, above all, innocent victims—ever be expected to hold itself accountable?

This is how Secretary Rubio defines the Strait of Hormuz: "This is an international waterway and international law is very clear... international water is no country can control them." His argument in the context of the Strait of Hormuz suffers from significant legal deficiencies: First, there is no "high seas" corridor in the Strait of Hormuz. Second, the fundamental principle of free and safe passage stipulates that neither "transit" nor "innocent" passage should be prejudicial to the peace, good order, or security of the coastal state. This was the baseline until February 27. Since February 28, when an actual war of aggression was launched against Iran, a fundamental change in the legal landscape occurred. Under international law, passage loses its "innocent" or "transit" status once it involves the transport of weaponry intended for military operations, threats of force, or intelligence gathering against the security of the coastal state. Similarly, a state utilizing a strait to launch an offensive against a coastal state effectively designates that area as a theater of war. Consequently, this situation invokes Article 51 of the U.N. Charter on the right of self-defense, in accordance with a "peremptory norm" that supersedes standard navigation rules. It also invokes the doctrine of rebus sic stantibus (a fundamental change of circumstances), which justifies a legal recalibration of the principles of free and safe passage, balanced against the legitimate security concerns of the coastal state. Third, conversely, Secretary Rubio’s statement effectively defines the illegality of the U.S. blockade, as it is exercised specifically in: a) international waters; and b) areas that are not under U.S. control, to be subjected to its extraterritorial sanctions.

At a time when the Iranian nation is mourning its martyred Leader, it is deeply regrettable that Nikkei has chosen to reduce this historic outpouring of national grief to a twisted political narrative of so-called "societal disparity" and "international isolation," and to conclude that "maintaining the regime will be more difficult than ever." Against this stark betrayal of reality, let us ask: when the American and Israeli regimes unleashed their indiscriminate bombardment during the wars of 2025 and 2026 against Iran, claiming 5,000 lives and maiming 40,000 others, did their missiles pause to check for "societal disparities"? In fact, what occurred mid-war and during the funeral of the martyred Leader in the streets has been a historic national unity that transcended the so-called "disparities" upon which the article bases its flawed assessment. The Iranian nation is now precisely responding to these flawed assessments that created miscalculations against it during the two consequential wars, which ultimately shambled the global economy. As for the claim of "international isolation": in a world where human values and international law are easily sacrificed at the feet of those who conveniently commit coercion, lawlessness, and war crimes as their source of credibility, one can only expect the perpetrators to crown themselves as the "majority" and slam their victims as "isolated." The article, therefore, is a failure of both empathy and analysis.
