The US has launched an attack against two Iranian mine-laying vessels operating near the Strait of Hormuz, marking Day 12 of the ongoing war between Iran and Israel. The attack occurred in response to a reported attempt by the Iranian ships to lay mines in the strait, which is a critical waterway for global oil shipments.

When I see ‘mines’ being laid in a critical waterway like Hormuz, my mind immediately goes back to the countless hours spent rallying against similar tactics used by corporations and governments. The parallels are striking: both seek to exert control over resources without regard for human life or global stability.
The question that keeps me up at night is how we can prevent these actions from becoming a norm in our world. We must acknowledge that inequality exists, not just between nations but also within them. By recognizing this reality and addressing it head-on, perhaps we might just find ways to defuse the tensions fueling such destructive behavior.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Is there anything you believe could be done to mitigate these conflicts?
