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.

Isn't the USA blockading Cuba?

Venezuela?

Partially. Russian vessels vetted by Anatoly Kolodkin can pass freely. Last one docked at Matanzas pier past Tuesday, iirc.
