But note the “but” that the Iranians are pointing out. Wartime situations negate the UNCLOS conventions. Like if the UK was at war with Russia, the Channel would be closed to Russian shipping. If Iran insists it is at war with Israel and the US, and Qatar, Kuwait, Oman etc. because they have aided the US and Israel, then they will argue that they have every right to close the strait.
