So be it.
The US has no jurisdiction in the Strait of Hormuz, nor the Persian Gulf. Only the littoral states have the right to impose conditions.
Iran and Oman both enforce 12-nautical-mile territorial limits, covering the entire strait, turning it into a passage of overlapping territorial seas, not high seas.
Almost all of the Persian Gulf is covered by the claimed 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of the littoral states (Iran, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq) or their exclusive economic zones. The entire Gulf is underlain by continental shelf, and it is a semi-enclosed sea where coastal states have demarcated or claimed most surface water.
America is facing a ticking bomb.
Under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, the tyrant Trump faces a May 1 deadline to obtain congressional authorization to continue military operations against Iran, now in their ninth week.
Republican lawmakers have largely backed tyrant Trump so far, but several have said that their support will not extend beyond the 60-day window without formal congressional approval.
