They pretty much were before too.
Just the CRINK axis helping out. At best, this will server some of the sanctions breaking through the UAE which the Emiratis turned a blind eye too. And even that's not a guarantee. They may cut a deal to save their own economies. Meanwhile, Iran can hold the whole Gulf hostage for a while to come.
People need to set aside emotion and ask themselves what they'd do in Iran's shoes. That old ECOA step in your OPP.

Some of the conversations here. I find it hard to believe some folks were in uniform. I know not everyone had bars on their uniform. But thinking through enemy COAs and motivations isn't just taught to officers. Take a second and think through what motivates the IRGC and what you would do in their shoes.
