    Geopoitically, the strait of Hormuz is sided by Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
    Iran can’t just close the strait without implicating the others.

      I disagree, they can close the straight because missles.

      However 100% of Iranian oil goes through that straight so what they are doing is reminding us not to blow up Khargg island.

        There are no international waters in the “straight” (even.if there were), it would implicate other countries so, no, they can’t just close it without implicating others.
