Hossein Shariatmadari: Now that Europe has sanctioned three Iranian airlines, we should close the Strait of Hormuz!

Hossein Shariatmadari wrote in Kayhan:

The European Union has announced the sanctions against three Iranian airlines, stating: "Iran Air, Mahan Air, and Saha Airlines have been sanctioned because they transferred Iranian-made missiles and drones to Russia and cannot fly to European countries"!

The Islamic Republic of Iran, citing the 1958 Geneva and 1982 Jamaica conventions concerning "the legal regime of international waterways and the right of ships to pass," has the right to close the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers and even commercial and arms-carrying ships from hostile countries (in this case, EU member states) if it perceives its national interests to be at risk. There is no reason for these countries to have passage through a strait that lies within our territorial waters.
