[/quote] Conflicts with Port of Call LAWS that are under Sharia LAW. AND Islamic territory includes all waters. Same reason Palestine (doesn't exist) is fighting Israel for rights to fishing waters 5 miles off shore. Islam is going for Global Domination including WATERS. (whole earth). Sharia LAW says that any infidel must pay jizya (protection tax). Saudi has been the ONLY one collecting this tax (through OPEC) until Petro-Dollar ended in March. Now Iran wants it's share. So why doesn't Saudi share with Iran? Mortal enemies. Been supressing the Shia for centuries. Why doesn't Iran go after Saudi? They are through the US (same way North Korea went through US to get to China's suppression). See where this is going? [/quote] This is not about Port of Call laws. This is about the international maritime laws agreed upon and signed by every nation on the planet in 1982, including Iran. Any nation that goes rouge against that agreement with armed forces action will have every nation on the planet given full authorization to wage war instantly. This is above and beyond anything even the United nations has done with their edicts. [/quote] really? Are you military? Or a maritime lawyer? Where does this info come from? Common sense? [/quote] Well, ya. I've been teaching the maritime rules of the road to armed forces CO's, XO's, OPS and cadets since 91. I got my 100-ton license and still take the deck watch officers exam every year, since I teach it. [/quote] Thanks. How about Islamic law, and Sharia law? [/quote] Good luck with the argument that religious laws that only apply to Muslims have to be obeyed by every other country in the world... But you made a great point, Iranians feel they are above all the maritime laws and treaties they have signed in the past and that they don't have to abide by any of them... I cannot wait until they attack the first civilian vessel and sink it for not paying their tolls... [/quote] POINT: There has to be a clear case that Iran violated LAW. If it comes down to it, the US cannot attack Iran because the holder of Islamic High Court (Saudi) will stand by Sharia LAW over ANY other law (that's their LAW). Non-secular (not "religious" law, this is their GOVERNMENTAL LAW). SO... in order to go to WAR... the US has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Iran is in violation. And we cannot at this point. THEREFORE: more of the same until someone (Iran) uses force against the ones not sharing jizya (protection tax) with them... because Iran is really broke (sanctions) and needs the money. IF: Saudi shares jizya with Iran then Saudi violates sanctions imposed by US. see where this is going? [/quote] Point: UN sanctions are a result of Iran refusing to follow UN agreements they signed to get into the UN. So: any attempt to attack any Vessel flying the flag of any member of the UN is an attack against not only that nation but the rest of the UN membership. Therefore: Iran breaks international law when they attack any shipping in international waters the Straights of Hormuz are international waters based upon international maritime law. See where this is going... [/quote] Not enough for US to blast them off the planet. Gnomesayin? [/quote] Actually it is... Any attack on any shipping by Iran is cause for the US Navy to sink every vessel of the Iranian Navy. The Iranians would be committing an act of war against the entire planet. [/quote]

Iran is planning to charge foreign ships a toll in exchange for "protection" across the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route and a flashpoint in the escalating dispute between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
A member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium said foreign commercial entities should compensate Iran as "the true provider of security in the region and international waters,". Amirhossein Qazizadeh Hashemi claimed ships enter Iranian waters on their way through the strait and should therefore pay a toll.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow, 21-mile waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and greater Arabian Sea. About 18.5 million barrels of oil travel through the strait each day, accounting for 30% of the world's sea-traded oil. The waterway is considered crucial to global trade, but with a shipping lane only three miles long, it is also extremely vulnerable.
