Iran Implements New Strait Rules
Iran has announced that it is not bound by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 because it has not acceded to it. It is working on establishing new rules for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid international escalation and tension with the United States. Iran has negotiated with Oman regarding a mechanism for managing passage through the strait, emphasizing that this will not be via the northern or southern routes, but rather through a special transit system. Additionally, Iran denied the validity of any reports about an agreement to reopen the strait, clarifying that the passage will remain closed as long as American escalations against it continue. Iran considers the closure of the strait a sovereign right and is working on draft laws to reaffirm its sovereignty over this strategic waterway.
