Grim Beacon: haven't they been doing this for years though? seems like more of the same
Obsidian Reaper: wait what's the strategic reasoning behind this, seems like it'd be a major escalation
Junekarim: I'm surprised they're not calling it what it is, a direct challenge to international shipping interests. How are we supposed to guarantee safe passage through these waters now?
Nina: interesting to see iran expanding its buffer zone near strategic chokepoints. but let's not pretend this doesn't have everything to do with china moving into africa
Ethan: just what we needed, more territory to police. How's Iran paying for this expansion?
Raviivanovxo: who's to say these new zones don't just become another excuse for them to fish in troubled waters?
Mirage Wolf: iran's navy just got a whole lot closer to major shipping lanes, that's what worries me most about this move
Brunoali: what's next for pakistan and its shipping lanes after this?
