US may make armed teams available to commercial ships sailing near Iran

America is an imperialist state that oppresses and exploits countries worldwide in order to gain natural resources, and often obscures its motives beneath the rhetoric that defense is for a greater good. America's policy towards Iran and the Middle East is destructive; in order to achieve peace, the US must pull its troops out of the Gulf, remove economic sanctions, and halt escalation before an inevitable war begins.
Iran continues to back terrorist militias engaged in a shadow war against the US military, as Tehran's main goal is to push the US out of the region. In the Persian Gulf, Iran continues to create chaos in one of the world's most important water ways. Fixated on the withdrawal of US influence in the region, Iran continues to place regional stability further and further down the priority list and seeks to turn up the heat on US forces — this will only cause greater suffering for the Middle East in the years to come.
