Four points about the Iranian regime’s absurd claims on the Strait of Hormuz:
🔹 The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) grants all foreign ships and aircraft the right to continuous, expeditious, and unobstructed movement.
🔹Transit passage cannot be suspended by coastal states, even during times of international tension or armed conflict.
🔹 Permitted Actions:
Iran and Oman can enforce designated traffic separation schemes, set safety and environmental standards, and require ships to move continuously without delay.
🔹Prohibited Actions:
Coastal states cannot legally deny passage to merchant vessels, arbitrarily detain ships, or levy unilateral transit and toll fees for simple passage.$BTR $TRIA $FLOCK
