Iran is demanding sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz. If it succeeds in imposing this logic, it will undermine the very foundation of international maritime law. The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait governed by the regime of transit passage: passage cannot be arbitrarily prevented or made selective. If Iran succeeds, it will open a Pandora's box: other states will also decide they can act the same way. Let's look at other straits that are critically important for the global economy: ◾️ The Straits of Malacca and Singapore are the next most dangerous example. The Strait of Malacca is the world's busiest oil chokepoint, as well as one of the main corridors for common trade; studies estimate that about 20% of global maritime trade passes through the Strait of Malacca, amounting to approximately $2.4-2.5 trillion annually. In theory, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore could all seek to exert tighter control here. If even one of these countries were to impose a system of permits, selective inspections, or political restrictions, global trade would suffer. ◾️ Bab-el-Mandeb is another example of how control over a narrow strait can quickly become a tool of war. In 2023, approximately 9.2 million barrels per day passed through it, but following the escalation, flows dropped to about 4.0-4.2 million barrels per day in 2024-2025. Formally, Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea may attempt to strengthen their control here, and effectively, armed non-state actors may also be involved. The threat is clear: whoever controls this chokepoint can sever the maritime link between Europe and Asia via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. ◾️ The Bosphorus and the Dardanelles are a separate case, as they are already subject to a specific regime under the Montreux Convention, and Türkiye has broader authority over military vessels. But that is precisely why this example is important. In the first half of 2025, approximately 3.7 million barrels per day of oil and petroleum products passed through the Turkish Straits, not counting grain and other Black Sea exports. The danger here lies elsewhere: the existing legal exception could become a justification for new exceptions in other straits. ◾️ The Danish straits are a critical exit route from the Baltic Sea. In the first half of 2025, approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil and petroleum products passed through them daily. Formally, Denmark could impose stricter controls here, and in a broader regional sense, so could the states that control the approaches to the Baltic Sea. If Europe ever adopts a policy of selective access through such a strait, it would mean that even within the Euro-Atlantic space, freedom of navigation is no longer considered absolute. This would be a critical moment for maritime law. ◾️ The Taiwan Strait is perhaps the most dangerous case in the long term. According to CSIS estimates, approximately $2.45 trillion worth of goods passed through it in 2022, accounting for more than one-fifth of global maritime trade. There is only one potential contender for political control here - China. If Beijing manages to impose a system where passage depends not on international rules but on Chinese jurisdiction, it will be a turning point. Then, not only regional security would be at risk, but also the very principle that major trade routes cannot be controlled by a single state through political decision. And since the Taiwan Strait is also linked to the risk of a major war between the US and China, maritime law here directly confronts the risk of global escalation. ◾️ Arctic shipping routes demonstrate that this logic now extends beyond traditional straits. Russia regards the Northern Sea Route as a "historic national transport corridor" and demands compliance with the navigation rules established by Moscow; in 2024, the Northern Sea Route Administration issued 1,312 permits for 975 vessels. Canada, for its part, considers the Northwest Passage to be part of its internal waters, while the United States and other states disagree with this approach. Here, the risk is particularly significant for the future: if Arctic routes begin to be established as a licensed passage under the control of coastal states, this will provide yet another strong argument for those who wish to establish their own control in other areas. So, control over sea lanes is becoming a new weapon. If Iran breaks this barrier in the Strait of Hormuz, other states will also begin competing for control of the seas. The next conflict may arise not only over territory, but over the right to determine who has access to global trade, energy, and naval traffic. This is the real danger: the Strait of Hormuz could lay the groundwork for many future wars.

Another banger track by Iran: “ONE PILOT, Hundreds of millions, please come again!”
Truth_teller 🇷🇺@Truthtellerftm

Trump’s Epstein coalition caught lying bigley again! More humiliation and shame! There’s a mass grave site of American aircrafts and American terrorist invaders in Isfahan! No rescue! Just lies, billions in damage and kosher spin. Iran has released images of the first US C-130 transport losses. There are clear marks of bullet holes in the airframe. There is a skull of a deceased American invader terrorist was found among the wreckage of one of the C-130s. Left image. More evidence of Trump’s lies: An aviation reporter that covered multiple air crashes claims it’s a plane crash not as the US claims that special forces destroy the planes themselves: “The propeller blades in attached pic are bent backward exactly in a way they do when spinning at high RPM during a crash impact. That’s textbook dynamic. It is downing damage not blowing up of static aircraft” According to an informed U.S. military source, not one but four MH-6 ‘Little Bird’ helicopters were destroyed at the landing site along with the two C-130s Hercules – ABC News During the operation, two MQ-9 ‘Reaper’ drones were also shot down. In summary: IRGC statement on the failed US rescue operation which resulted in the US carrying out the Hannibal directive: "Following the desperate attempts of the American terrorist army to rescue the pilot of their downed fighter jet, a number of enemy aircraft entered Iran in the early hours of April 5th." Confirmed struck and forced into emergency landings south of Isfahan: 2 C-130 military transport planes 2 Black Hawk helicopters "After Iran's fighters completed the encirclement — the contemptible enemy, in order to prevent the disgrace of Trump and preserve the hollow prestige of their army, they were forced to heavily bomb their own downed aircraft, equipment, commanders, and soldiers." Iran is now explicitly stating the US bombed its own trapped personnel (suckers and losers as Trump calls them), to prevent capture. The Hannibal directive straight out of Israel’s playbook. "The disgrace of the trapped president and the defeated American army cannot be repaired by rhetoric, media warfare, or psychological operations." U.S. Army aircraft losses to rescue the two dead crew members of downed F-15E jet over Iran: Confirmed losses so far: — 1× F-15E Strike Eagle — destroyed — 2× HH-60 helicopters — damaged — 1x MH-6 Little Bird — destroyed — 1× A-10 Thunderbolt II — destroyed — 2× C-130 Hercules — destroyed — 1–2× MQ-9 Reapers — destroyed Possible / unconfirmed damage: — 1× F-16 Fighting Falcon — emergency squawk — 1× KC-135 Stratotanker — emergency squawk — 1× A-10 Thunderbolt II — possible emergency landing (dubious) Numerous dead American terrorists serving Israel! There’s over a $1 billion in damages and a mass grave site of dead American terrorists. Trump calls this a victory and the MIGAtards are dumb enough to believe it.

@LeftFlank99 @GlickGlickman @maybesatire @6ixbuzztv “Not a Muslim” but defending the Islamic theocracy of Iran. It’s evident you’re a midwit who chases logic but fails to catch up to it. You don’t have to censor Moron btw. This isn’t communist Twitter where you had to fool your communist censorship god by writing it as “m0ron”.

Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2

Context you will never hear in media coverage is that the Strait of Hormuz IS NOT international waters.
