Are you aware of the “Fat Leonard” scandal a couple years ago? Has the relieving of several high ranking Naval officers affected readiness in Fifth Fleet or was the widespread corruption mostly relegated to Seventh Fleet (also where all the collisions took place)? Also why did “Fat Leonard” make hardly any headline two years ago when several Admirals were being relieved and possibly facing jail time?

Yeah but since the straits are so narrow the “12 miles off the coast” rule doesn’t apply the same as it would normally...or else Iran’s and Oman’s airspace would be overlapping each other. Whether Iran or the U.S. acknowledges whatever international guidelines are put in place I can only speculate on.
