Iran (Thread 10), Episode 2: Aquinas on the Strait: Is the Iran Fight Truly Just?

In episode two of our Iran thread, we rewind to the 13th century and put Thomas Aquinas in the room to ask the hard question: are actions around the Strait of Hormuz really about defense and peace, or just clever ways to gain leverage?

It’s a close, honest conversation—Aquinas’ three tests (authority, just cause, right intention) cut through the usual rhetoric. Come along as we use medieval moral clarity to expose modern excuses and ask whether anyone can actually prove their war is just.
