Iran is also playing a PR war lately, playing the victims of the big bad USA.

They IMO embarrassed themselves hugely by shooting missiles and drones at their neighbors; not sure they'll want to also try to sink (literally) a new way for the world to get oil from that peninsula but through other routes.

Though of course propaganda knows no rest. They'll likely bend over backwards and do a front flip to again make it the fault of everyone else but not them.
