Iran has every right to control passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and the US has no business bullying its way through sovereign waters. Washington's so-called Project Freedom is nothing more than aggression dressed up in humanitarian language, and the international community should hold the US accountable for destabilizing the waterway. Iran's measures are fully consistent with international law.
Project Freedom is working — US Navy destroyers are operating in the Arabian Gulf and American-flagged merchant vessels have already transited the Strait of Hormuz safely. Iran's claims of striking a US vessel are flat-out fabricated propaganda, denied directly by CENTCOM. The blockade has seized 39 vessels and is sending a clear message to Iran and China alike that American sea power is unmatched.
