In practice though it seems like this means one can only impose a blockade at the point of destination, rather than the point of departure. Which, cynically, one might say is rather convenient for a handful of powerful countries.

2 days ago	comment	added	user111403		Why exactly would it be illegal for Iran to attack Israeli and aligned ships transiting the strait, but legal for the US to attack ships coming to/from Iran? Israel is hardly a neutral country.
