Iran Submits Document to UN Asserting Control Over Part of Strait of Hormuz

Iran submitted a document to the United Nations maritime authority on July 7, asserting that the country has jurisdiction over parts of the Strait of Hormuz, according to official submissions. The waterway is currently a key topic in peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Iran stated that the territorial waters within the Strait of Hormuz fall under its sovereignty and that, under international maritime law, coastal nations exercise sovereign rights and jurisdiction over their territorial seas. The document did not specify which portions of the strait Iran claims or whether Tehran would accept alternative shipping routes.
