Since February 28:
* At least 22 ships have been attacked
* 10 crew members have been killed
* Around 20,000 seafarers are unable to transit safely
* An estimated 800 commercial vessels are stranded, including almost 400 tankers
The Strait of Hormuz has never been Iran’s to close or restrict.
Any attempt to do so is not a regional issue; it is the disruption of a global economic lifeline and a direct threat to the energy, food and health security of every nation.
Setting such a precedent is illegal, dangerous, and unacceptable. The world simply cannot afford it and must not allow it.
@DepthsofTime97 You are completely mistaken on so many counts. Dismissing the relevance of past scholarship and focusing merely on contemporary scholars, as suggested, overlooks the critical continuity of academic discourse and misapprehends the complexity of scholarly contributions across time.
