You're probably hearing a lot from Marco Rubio and the US State Department about international law and the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran cannot legally close the Strait. Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, that's true!

There's just one problem.

The US never ratified that treaty.

@theleftistlawyer @Binder Someone should tell Rubio that the U.S. can’t legally be attacking Iran, and see how that goes over.
