One anonymous writer (who can blame him for protecting himself because of the way Australia is these days) points out that Albanese is the worst of the worst of the above-mentioned politicians.

Albanese is a “superpower” who has the ability to “set the house on fire”, then burst through the smoke yelling, “I'm here to save you”.

Tomorrow, Albanese will “save” us with like-minded dictators and idiots in the Morrison-invented national “cabinet”. Aided supposedly, by the climate tsar who hates fossil fuel.

"That might be because the regime uses human shields, just as Hamas and Hezbollah do."

It could also be because they're employing the Dahiya Doctrine.
Google? AI Overview: The Dahiya doctrine is an Israeli military strategy of asymmetric warfare designed to deter enemies—specifically non-state armed groups like Hezbollah and Hamas—by employing overwhelming, disproportionate force, including the deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure. Named after the Dahiya suburb of Beirut, which was heavily destroyed by the Israeli military during the 2006 Lebanon War, the doctrine posits that destroying the civilian and economic base of an opponent is necessary to deter future attacks.

>>The president of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) Pir Hossein Kolivand: Seventeen IRCS bases across the country have been targeted by the aggressor enemy.
Ninety-four ambulances and rescue vehicles were directly hit by enemy missiles.<<

How does targeting medical / ambulances fit into your 'human shield narrative'?

It might also be because they've run out of real military targets and need to be showing to be doing 'something' so they are bombing infrastructure OR it could be that right from the start they've not just been targeting the leadership and the IRGC but also every target possible that would help facilitate a situation where the so called 'haters of the regime' could rise up and take over which was their original plan, I'd be sure that Netanyahu and some in the U.S. are still trying to find a way to achieve this.

"Tell me, what do you conclude about the humanity of the terrorists using children as human shields? The biggest fear of the average Iranian is that the terrorist theocracy will survive."
- Isn't that what America's doing placing all it's troops into 5 star hotels to do 'remote working'? Doesn't Israel put its military headquarters under civilian buildings, does Israel employ, assassinations, torture, rape, ethnic cleaning, genocide, starvation, targeting journalists and children and medical personel.

If you're going to make humanitarian based arguments, isn't it reasonable to apply those standards equally?

"Not so many missile and drone attacks now. The regime is finished when Kharg Island gets captured."
- No, they've still got plenty, they may have used a thirdthe west is running short on some things though.

Also, it also helps to actually listen to people in Iran...

ttbn,

I'm not confused.

“Why do the Australian left support those who want to kill them?”

Your side of things is acting outraged over the fuel crisis, but it's a bit of a throw off since they would've been even more supportive than Albo of actions that lead to the current situation;
They're upset that we offered Aussie troops up as sacrificial lamb chops to please the U.S. and Israel without even needing a request, as displayed here:

And let's not forget the elephant in the room.

The problem of needing to 'open' the strait of Hormuz is a problem wholly created by U.S. and Israeli actions embarking on awar of choice, a war of aggression.
The Strait wasn't closed prior to the U.S. and Israel attacking them for the second time during negotiations.
And this battle has been planned for decades.

You're looking at nearly 2 million enemy combatants across Iran and Iraq, if you include IRGC, Regular Iranian Army (Artesh), Basij, Reservists, and the Popular Mobilisation Forces in Iraq, and if you add in the Houthi's it might be over 2 million.

Just some thoughts...

If there was a small tax on European/ US crude oil consumers covering the $2 billion odd price tag plus interest of a 1200km pipeline from Kuwait across Saudi Arabia and Egypt (bypassing Jordan) to the Mediterranean Sea from the Arabian Gulf it would cut out the Suez bottle neck and threats from Somalia (and Iran). It would also put Europe and the US in an advantageous position. In future if Iran wanted to rejoin the international community, we could tax them for the trouble they have caused. Branch lines could be paid for by a balance by the host country and the consumers. This could be a win-win all round, benefiting insurance companies and shipping companies too. This would avoid the need to actually fight the Iranians, and we would starve them. In the meantime we can find an alternative to oil. Two/ three pronged attack.

If The Saudi's or Egyptians try to extort Europe/ US then we go back to transporting oil by ship.

We have options but Europe/ US haven't used them allowing the ME to profit and for us to get cheaper oil. If this is no longer an option we can bypass elements of the ME and even eventually the whole ME if necessary.

Hopefully this ME realisation will help them convince Iran that they need to take a broader view.
