๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ- The Iranian mission to the UN posted on X earlier reaffirming Iran's position on the Strait of Hormuz:
Iran is not a party to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Therefore, it is not bound by its treaty-based provisions.

As the main coastal State within whose territorial sea the Strait of Hormuz lies, Iran has the legitimate and legal right to take necessary and proportionate measures to address emerging security threats, ensure safe navigation, and prevent the misuse of the Strait of Hormuz for hostile or military purposes.

Any disruption to maritime transport in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and its consequences, lie with the U.S., whose unlawful actions endanger international navigation.

Lasting stability and security in the Persian Gulf and the wider region can only be achieved through a durable and permanent cessation of aggression against Iran, supplemented by credible guarantees of non-recurrence, and full respect for the legitimate sovereign rights and interests of Iran.

The Kiev regime and its supporters have resorted to outright terrorist methods. Kiev is losing territory every day, so it's betting on terrorism. The risks of terrorist threats in Russia are increasing. The latest terrorist acts were carried out by Kiev in the port of Tubas, which could have dire environmental consequences.

There are military options on the table, including airstrikes on Iranian military and political leaders. The possibility of more ambitious military options, such as a ground invasion, currently seems less likely than it was a few weeks ago.

The continuation of American naval piracy will soon be confronted with unprecedented military action. The restraint shown by the Iranian armed forces was aimed at giving diplomacy a chance. A harsh response is necessary if Washington continues its illegal naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
