No according to current UN maritime law it’s not international waters: territorial waters extend up to 12 nautical miles from the coast line. Iran could have always done this, but Trumps use of perfidy (luring Iran into negotiations to murder the negotiators) and assassination of the heads of state and military leadership of Iran have permanently erased that good will and shared use of the Strait.
Stupid hogs are ruining this country because they lack critical thinking skills and normal expectations for how countries should behave.

- iwontberude 5mo agoA status which neither Iran nor the US ever agreed to or ratified. Go read and stop wasting my time.

Which means neither the US or Iran agreed/ratified UNCLOS and you are fucking wrong.
