It’s pathetic that iranian leadership thinks a stolen ship is somehow going to make South Korea risk its 1.6T USD economy (4x the size of Iranian economy) to release frozen funds.
The world revolves around the dollar for now.
Agreed, it's sad that Iran has to resort to such actions in the first-place in order to have something to act as leverage against the country they want to garner concessions from.
I've got no idea on what should or can be done to remedy the problem outside of coming back to the JCPOA (which has been compromised, regardless of the the many Iranian concessions) or outright 'tough it out': really beginning to get this feeling that the Americans will just wait it out and let Iran fall under its own weight, then come in and pick at the corpse (if that's indeed the direction Iran is heading in). As you've correctly said, the United States is still strong (yet waning globally) and the world isn't going to torpedo their trade-deals or economy all in the name of backing Iran no matter the cause.
Rock and a hard-place......got nothing more to add.
