Can Ships Be Stopped? Legal Analysis of U.S. Blockade in Strait of Hormuz

As tensions rise between the U.S. and Iran, questions are growing over the legality and risks of the ongoing naval blockade.

International law expert Douglas Guilfoyle from the University of New South Wales explains how maritime blockades work under international law—and whether the current U.S. actions comply.

Key points include:

Blockades are legal during armed conflict—but must meet strict conditions
Neutral ships not linked to Iran should be allowed passage
A blockade must be effective and not harm civilian access to food or medicine
