Listen up, Trump, and every dumb fuck in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot.
This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be.
Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all.
Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house.
Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no.
America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a fucking atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars.
Learn it now or bleed for it later.
