@MissGayle That snippet of interview aside, from a legal perspective it’s important to remember that neither Iran nor the US has ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS). It’s also true that “The strait of Hormuz is bordered by Iran and Oman and measures approximately 20¾ nm in width at its narrowest point where the territorial seas of Iran and Oman overlap. The strait is at its deepest close to the Iranian coast” https://opiniojuris.org/2026/05/06/the-closure-of-the-strait-of-hormuz-by-iran-considerations-over-the-law-of-the-sea-and-law-of-naval-warfare/
