couldn't you argue the 2-mile wide shipping lane is international territory given the fact that so much of the world's oil flows through it each day?

is the underlying principle here that a territory is international if a substantial proportion of the world's supply of an important commodity passes through the territory?

the strait is actually iranian territorial waters (21 miles across, well within the 200 mile water limits) shared jointly with UAE etc as it falls under all the countries territorial waters.

they dont have to close it. all they have to do is say they will randomly fire a few hundred rounds from an artillery cannon with a 15 mile range across the strait every day.

good luck getting insurance for your ships after that.

freedom to hold naval exercises (like randomly firing a few hundred shells...) is not prohibited by that article mang.

also the high seas are not territorial waters.

It's treated like the high seas because it's a strait necessary for international commercial intercourse.

are you guys this dumb?

blockading a country is an act of war

closing the straights of hormuz is a naval blockade of Kuwait and Iraq, two of our allies.

act of war against our allies may be treated as an act of war against the United States.

the U.S. navy crushes the Iranian Navy and military withing 200 miles of the straits in about 12 hours.

not to mention the fact that ~20 billion barrels of oil flow out of it each day. Wouldn't criticality of global commerce trump some vague territorial claims?

bro, this is a discussion about intl law. Everyone here knows that intl law lacks an enforcement mechanism and is worthless, not to mention the fact that it has been rendered historically moot by numerous armed conflicts without any reprisal from international bodies. I am simply wondering about which intl. laws would apply in this scenario, not whether or not anyone would give a fuck.

Wait for Iran to inevitably mine the strait or launch a missile or send out a speedboat-----Article 51 self-defense justification for use of force, bam. Tehran turns into a crater.

lol. even if iran developed nukes, or even if they developed ICBMs, we could utterly wipe them off the face of the map before they knew what hit them.

1. if we launched nukes from subs right off their coasts, there is no way they would detect them soon enough to launch a counterstrike

2. alternatively, we could have black ops smuggle some nukes into the country and detonate them at iran's nuclear silos.

3. or, of course, the united states could just drop some nukes from a B2 bomber
