The original ship channel was in Omani waters, not Iranian. It is entirely unreasonable to consider it reasonable for Iran to mine Omani waters.

It is reasonable for Iran to do things that hurt the US (and the world) when the US hurts them.

It is not the world. Only Israel, USA and their direct allies are explicitly banned. Most of the world is not.

Oman was not neutral and did not bar it's airspace to Israel/US planes/troops/ships, so it's a legitimate target.
