The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

[Rigby5]

The Straits of Hormuz are complicated.
They are only 29 miles wide, so are within the 200 mile international boundary of Iran.
But the Straits of Hormuz are governed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) that the UN passed in 1958, but was never ratified by Iran.
However, the UNCLOS then prohibits the US interfering with Iranian commerce, which the US has illegally done ever since it imposed economic sanctions on Iran.
