Iran's very dubious claim of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz

It seems to be an outrageous claim by the fanatic theocratic dictatorship and major global state sponsor of terrorism!

What about the the state of Oman or the United Arab Emirates?

All Western countries and beyond would be well advised to firmly reject this claim!

Take the Strait of Gibraltar as an example:
"The Strait of Gibraltar is classified under international law as a strait used for international navigation. Its legal status is primarily governed by the transit passage regime established by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

This regime guarantees all ships and aircraft the right of free, continuous, and expeditious transit between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, even when traversing the territorial waters of Spain, Morocco, or the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar." (Google AI)
