International waterways include lakes, rivers, and worldwide straits that are between two or more countries and international straits are one of the most crucial examples of international waterways, a senior expert in worldwide law writes in Farhikhtegan as he points to the legal debates about the possibility of closing the Strait of Hormuz by Iran.Mohsen Akbari states according to the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC), straits that are important for worldwide maritime traffic go through legal regulations.Based on paragraph 4 of Article 16 of the Geneva Convention, the seas and waterways that connect open waters to each other or to the territorial sea of a nation are classified as global waterways.According to this meaning, the Strait of Hormuz is among global straits.Akbari then describes the argument between global law professionals about whether or not to close this waterway and writes: If ships pass through a waterway without triggering any difficulty and do not hurt the security of the coastal state, the government of that country can not impose guidelines for the passage of ships.
Military experts think that the choice of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, although it can be among the possible methods of Iran to counter a possible attack by other countries, it is not the first choice due to the fact that nationwide security specialists at the Heritage Foundation think that Iran has a great deal of choices.
They state Iran can disrupt the passage of oil tankers and cause a shock in the oil market.Therefore, as long as there is no hazard to Irans security from foreign enemies, Tehran is unable to block the Strait of Hormuz.Etelaat: Europes goals and interests in the Persian GulfTwo years ago, the European Union for the first time revealed a comprehensive technique in which the future relations of the Union with the member states of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council had actually been designated in numerous fields, from security locations to trade and climate concerns, Etelaat stated in a commentary.The new strategy was named Strategic Partnership with the [Persian] Gulf , according to which the EU will increase its diplomatic presence in the area.

This declaration shows that while they want to comply with Iran, they can provoke the international community through such declarations if they can not get the preferred outcome of his go to.
If Grossi does not receive answers to his questions during his trip to Tehran, he will provide a report to the IAEA which might cause the adoption a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors and then send the concern to the UN Security Council.Accordingly, we ought to pay special attention to this crucial issue, i.e., the connection in between Grossis interview 3 days earlier and his baseless statements and the visit to Tehran.
Iran needs to not provoke Mr.
Grossi.
The NATO secretary general has raised again the risk of Iran and Iranian drones in current days.Therefore, if Grossi comes to Tehran and reach a conclusion, there will be an opening which can raise hopes to revive the nuclear negotiations.Javan: Systematic infanticide in CanadaIn a short article entitled Systematic infanticide in Canada , Javan refers to the discovery of mass tombs of native children in the North American nation and composes: The catastrophe is suggestion of a dark and shameful chapter in the Canadian history.This quantity of methodical human rights scandal for a nation, if not unmatched in history, is at least rare.Despite the degree of this catastrophe, which was referred to as genocide in the literature of worldwide law and is one of the greatest crimes acknowledged in global law, there has been no response from human rights organizations in this regard.The double basic policies on the ideal to life , which is considered one of the most obvious human rights, has also weakened humanity in the West.Korasan: Western freedom of expression, a term with two meaningsThe Khorasan paper refers to the insults to the Muslims in some European nations, including Sweden and the Netherlands, and composes: Al-Azhar (University) in Egypt called on the citizens of the Arab world and Muslims to boycott all Dutch products and Swedish items and take a strong position in assistance of the Holy Quran.
