Iran Sovereignty Over Strait of Hormuz Under Scrutiny in Conflict Scenarios

An academic expert has highlighted that Iran’s sovereignty over the strategic Strait of Hormuz takes on distinct legal dimensions during times of conflict, noting that neither Tehran nor Washington is bound by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, a senior researcher and faculty member at Allameh Tabatabai University has explained that due to the non-accession of both the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States to the Law of the Sea Convention, the provisions and obligations outlined within the treaty remain non-binding for both governments.
The academic figure further elaborated that the issue of Iran’s sovereign rights concerning the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz involves alternative dimensions and perspectives that merit close examination under wartime conditions.
