Abstract
This research aims to study the application of the principles of international law relating to Iran's threat to the closure/blockage of the Strait of Hormuz through using the descriptive and analytical method. This research will highlight the importance of the Strait of Hormuz for international navigation, especially after the discovery of oil in the Persian Gulf. Respecting freedom of navigation in the strait is provided in the transit passage provision, as a principle established in international law. This is crucial to ensure continuous and expeditious passage of ships across the strait without barriers or stops. The international law also stipulates the rights and obligations to which coastal states are bound to follow, in accordance to Article 41 of the 1982 United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The provision provides that coastal states may designate sea lanes and prescribe traffic separation schemes for navigation in straits.
