Strait of Hormuz: Navigational Rights vs Sovereignty
The article discusses the legal and geopolitical status of the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that international maritime laws regard straits and waterways as shared regions accessible to all, and that no country or entity has absolute sovereignty over them, especially in times of peace. In cases of disputes or wartime situations, the issue of freedom of navigation remains dependent on the power of states, and international law continues to serve as a consistent reference without change. Despite Iran's attempts to use its sovereignty commitments to impose a blockade of the strait as a wartime tactic against the United States, Tehran's capacity to do so is limited. The status of the strait remains protected under international legal frameworks even after conflicts, with the principles of free passage and rule of law continuing to be upheld.
