The U.S. military denies Iran's claim that foreign ships cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian identification and monitoring, asserting that the strait remains an international waterway open to all lawful vessels. Analysts argue that U.S. control over the strait is legally and economically unfeasible.
Consensus
- The Strait of Hormuz is recognized as an international waterway.
- U.S. military forces are deployed to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran has claimed that foreign ships cannot pass through the strait without identification and monitoring by Iranian forces.
- CENTCOM denied Iran's claim about restrictions on passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Points of divergence
- The U.S. lacks legal and economic ability to control the Strait of Hormuz, as it does not have sovereignty over the area or neighboring countries, unlike Iran and Oman which have territorial claims based on their waters. — vesti
