UN Convention of the Law of the Sea and the Hormuz Straits..., in the age of ZIOPEDIA/Zioconned-MEDIA, PsyOps and Zio-US Saber-Rattling....and daily criminal behavior!What is wholly overlooked by the Zioconned corporate media Worldwide: that Iran's legal position about the what constitutes "innocent passage" is rock solid. Check out what Article 19 of Section 3 of the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea actually says:
1. Passage is innocent so long as it is not prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State. Such passage shall take place in conformity with this Convention and with other rules of international law.
2. Passage of a foreign ship shall be considered to be prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State if in the territorial sea it engages in any of the following activities:
(a) any threat or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of the coastal State, or in any other manner in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations;
(b) any exercise or practice with weapons of any kind;
(c) any act aimed at collecting information to the prejudice of the defense or security of the coastal State;
(d) any act of propaganda aimed at affecting the defense or security of the coastal State;
(e) the launching, landing or taking on board of any aircraft;
(f) the launching, landing or taking on board of any military device;
(g) the loading or unloading of any commodity, currency or person contrary to the customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations of the coastal State;
(h) any act of willful and serious pollution contrary to this Convention;
(i) any fishing activities;
(j) the carrying out of research or survey activities;
(k) any act aimed at interfering with any systems of communication or any other facilities or installations of the coastal State;
(l) any other activity not having a direct bearing on passage.
Interesting, no? All the Zioconned US saber-rattling and assorted threats against Iran would, in fact, legally allow Iran to prevent the passage of Zioconned US ships through the strait. Of course, considering the wholesale disregard and systematic violation of pretty much any and all forms of international law by the Zioconned US and IsraHell such legal trivialities will make no difference to them. The only thing that will matter to them; [ i.e. to the utterly corrupt and criminal assassins of the most infamous White House Murder INC, in the Levant and Worldwide....] is whether or not Iran can shut down the Strait of Hormuz or not.....an the immediate ensuing fact of OIL prices going Ballistic on the crooked world markets....
