Iran's Unauthorized Claims (1)
The article discusses Iran's escalation of its claims to unjustified rights in passing through the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Iran is claiming rights it does not possess, amid ongoing regional tensions since February 2026. He noted that Iran tries to assert that it does not impose fees on the strait, despite international law affirming that the Strait of Hormuz is an international passage subject to the regime of "right of innocent passage," which prohibits the imposition of fees or preventing ships from transiting. Through these statements, Iran appears to be attempting to impose control over the waterway, alongside demands that Gulf countries and Jordan remove American military bases. Its politicization of policies and efforts to escalate the situation—by targeting civilian facilities and harming the interests of neighboring countries—are part of expansionist goals that threaten the security and stability of the region.
