Some politicians view the condemnation of Iranian violations of global and regional security as a clearance of responsibility, and a performance of what can be done from the usual political rhetoric in crises, perhaps coming from the category of 'the weakest of faith,' but these condemnations have not prompted the Iranian government to reconsider its calculations and respect for neighbors' rights, nor have they moved international organizations to take strict decisions and measures to prevent chaos and destabilize the region's security.

Anyone who examines daily events cannot rule out that some powers are blessing what is happening; because replicating multiple enemies for the Arabs within their own regions and political arenas blunts the sensitivity of hostilities and pushes toward choosing between the evil and the lesser evil, hoping to manage the conflict in a way that serves their interests regardless of the resulting harms, as if they are operating on the popular saying, 'The wolf does not die nor do the sheep perish.'

For five months, actions backed by the US and Israel have alternated with reactions from Iran and its proxies in the region, but the repercussions and impacts, manifested in brutal targeting, have affected the Gulf states and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as if there were deals and payment of a price; this has undermined maritime security, spread piracy, increased smuggling and illegal migration, weakened the prestige of international law, and thwarted all efforts aimed at achieving peace.

It is no longer a secret that persisting with some formal solutions will not change the reality, but may prolong crises and encourage the weak-willed to persist and flout all principles, laws, and ethics of doctrines and policies. The chaos will not end unless the root cause is eliminated—'Perhaps bodies are healed by ailments.'
