Why doesn’t the United States stop every tanker carrying Iranian oil? It’s a move that seems like it will get China involved in negotiations.

Why doesn’t the United States mind their own business, go home and mend their house?
Why doesn’t the United States respect the sovereignty of other countries?
Who do these people think they are?
Fortunately Iran, and soon other countries as well, is teaching the US a lesson in humility. I hope that the lessons are too great to ignore. I don’t want to see Americans getting hurt, but I do want them to stop hurting everybody else on the planet.
Please look at the map of the Middle East carefully. Look at how large is Iran compared to Israel. Iran had a population of over 93.4 million poeople ans Israel of about 10.2 million people.
As of mid-2026, Iran’s population is estimated at 93,168,497, representing about 1.12% of the world’s total population and ranking Iran as the 17th most populous country globally (Worldometer). The population density is around 57 people per km², with a total land area of 1,628,550 km². The median age in Iran is approximately 34.5 years, reflecting a relatively young population.
Israel is using the military strength of the US to attack Iran and reduces it to rubbles so that It can become the hegemon, dominating the Middle East. The Sunny Muslims led by Saudi Arabia might agree with such an arrangement but certainly not the Iranians. The 93.4 Iranians will rather fight the US and the Israelis to their death and not bow down to the Israelis. Their antagonism is at the root of the current problems. The US is taking the side of Israel because of the strong Jewish lobby in Washington. All the previous POTUS had refused to fight Iran in order to restore Israel to be the hegemon of the Middlee East except the rather stupid Trump He seemed hell bent to reduce Iran to ashes to fulfill Israeli’s wishes. Iran was not and is not a threat to the US in any way. The US had no strong reason to agree to start an illegal and unprovoked war with Iran. It was rumoured that Netanyahu finally convinced him to undertake such a obnoxious venture.
According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), the official population as of January 1, 2026, stood at 10.178 million, marking the first time Israel surpassed the 10-million milestone in its modern history. This population includes 7.771 million Jews and others (76.3%), 2.147 million Arabs (21.1%), and 0.26 million foreign nationals (2.6%), reflecting Israel’s diverse, multi-ethnic composition. The country maintains a high fertility rate relative to other developed nations, contributing to continued population growth despite negative net migration trends in recent years.
Population Density and Demographics
Israel’s population density is approximately 446 people per km², making it one of the most densely populated countries with substantial land area. The median age is around 29.3 years, indicating a relatively young population. Urban centers, particularly the Tel Aviv metropolitan area (Gush Dan) and Jerusalem, concentrate the majority of residents, while growth is especially pronounced in Haredi and Bedouin communities.
Growth Trends
Israel’s population growth is driven by a combination of high fertility rates, immigration under the Law of Return, and natural increase. In 2025, approximately 182,000 babies were born, with around 50,000 deaths, resulting in a natural increase of roughly 132,000 residents. Net international migration was slightly negative at –20,000, reflecting a shift in migration patterns. Projections suggest continued growth, with estimates ranging from 10.25 million to over 10.3 million by the end of 2026 depending on the source.
Israel’s population in 2026 is generally recognized to be just over 10 million, with a young, diverse, and urban-concentrated demographic profile that continues to grow steadily.
There is the Persian gulf that had 20% of the world’s oil moving out from there through the Straits of hormuz to all parts of the world. The imports of the persian gulf countries come through the reverse path from all parts of the world. That Straits of Hormuz is the choke point for movements of ships to and from the persian gulf countries. The US wanted to force the Iranians not to block the Straits but it is now doing so itself! What a contradiction!
The iranians had said that if the US did that, they will open up another war front by controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Iran war will escalate. The Houthis of Yemen will start the new war front.
The southern entrance to the Red Sea is the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a critical maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. The Houthis of Yemen had said that they were ready to join Iran war if needed by controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, entrance to the Red Sea.
Yemen's Houthis ready to join Iran war if needed, raising new shipping risk
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/yemens-houthis-ready-join-iran-war-if-needed-raising-new-shipping-risk-2026-03-26/Trumps action at the Straits of Hormuz checking the oil tankers carrying oil to China is an unnecessary provocation escalating the Iran War.
In summary, the US with Israel had done whatever it wanted to do in Iran. It had illegally and unprovocably attacked Iran and killed off the religious leadership and damage its infrastructure and even killed young school girls in their schools. It should quietly withdraw especially when it could. Iran had the capacity to counterattack and destroyed the US military bases in the Middle East and flattened Israeli cities like Tel Aviv with its hypersonic missiles and Kamikazi drones. They had prepared for this war over two devades or more. The US fighting this Iran War had upset the world’s trade of 20% or more. It should not seek to please Israel at the expense of the world’s trade! It is not wise to accuse China or anyone else when it itself broke the international law first and foremost. China just wanted to trade and not to fight wars! It would be wise not to escalate and widen the war front!
