Essentially the Iranian foreign minister said it's open, then the IRGC said no it's not and in the response to this Indian crew, they actually refer to their own foreign minister as an idiot and that THEY are the ones that say if it open or not.
Yes, but they aren't wrong. Araghchi is much better than Pezeshkian and highly intelligent, but in attempting to appease the Chinese, Iran made arguably an optical blunder by knowingfully engaging in what are bad-faith negotiations by the opposition. In reality that's not really true since they never ceded any military gains.
All of Iran is on the side of the IGRC; even pro-Shah proponents are as well, having seen harmless schools and hospitals be arbitrarily bombed and hence awakened to reality. India will get over the minor kerfuffle -- unlike the Iranian ship that sank during a non-military expedition near India, this resulted in a literal nothing-burger besides slightly bruised egos.
The Iranian parliament is on the side of the IGRC as well. They were just trying to engage with diplomacy given geopolitical realities; they aren't stupid, they are well aware of Israeli (and American) duplicitous tactics and were doing China a favor.
If you read the series of commentary from Qalibaf, it's fully acknowledging and rebuking the opposite side's tactics. My point is that you're wrong when you say that Iran is isolating anyone -- they're not. In fact, it's the opposite for the Axis of Resistance (e.g. Hezbollah, Ansar Allash) since Iran acknowledges Hezbollah's role and are insistent on not abandoning Lebanon, and the non-Resistance either has incentive to go against the petro-dollar and/or is not ignorant of Iran's history, where they have been exceedingly, irrationally tolerant of the opposition's attacks.
In summary: fuck India. They may or may not have been wronged in this incident, but unlike China, who has relations with both Iran & Israel but is able to straddle diplomacy without burying BRICS, the same cannot be said for India, which engages in a far more parasitic relationship.
