The ruling class of a country derives legitimacy from being put there by another power, versus grabbing power and withstanding the heaviest of possible outside pressures for 50 years running. There is your answer.
Right of self defence, managing and controlling the strait up to Emirati and Omani coast. Iran never ratified UNCLOS. Iran got attacked with backing of PGCC and because of that Iran has the right to expand its control in Persian Gulf, for its security. If I had a say I would conquer Qatari and Kuwaiti energyfields in addition.What "rights" does Iran have within Omani coastal waters?
I am not talking about the strait or the persian gulf. I'm talking about the legitimacy of a government. Look at Pakista, a ruling military dictatorship that just, at the press of a button by the US, nullified the wish of the people by imprisoning Khan. That's not a legitimate government. Or whatever the PCGG countries do that is against their own interest. Who tells the Iranian government what to do?Not much of an answer there, Sir.
A power grab is a power grab. Legitimacy only derives from support of the people. In this regard, your argument applies equally to just about all the states in the region.
Iran has the right to expand its control in Persian Gulf, for its security.
Who tells the Iranian government what to do?
But no outsider no?The IRGC and the reigning Ayatollah, perhaps? Please correct me if I am wrong here. Thanks.

This will be the next flashpoint in this conflict.![]()
Ironically Trump who talked a lot about keeping US out of wars while criticizing Bush and Obama for their foreign interventions, himself killed Qasem Soleimani, captured Maduro, bombed the Houthis, Nigeria, Somalia and started the Iran war.
The guy is really crazy and is out of his mind and is a real incompetent idiot.
No no, the real question is why Oman deceived the other coastal country?.What "rights" does Iran have within Omani coastal waters?
