Iran's Supreme Leader Unveils 10 Hormuz Points, Urging End to U.S. Gulf Presence

Ten strategic points released by Iran's Supreme Leader cast the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz as a regional security system that should be managed by neighboring states, not the United States.
The remarks frame U.S. forces as the main source of insecurity, say American bases cannot protect even themselves, and argue the Gulf has a brighter future without foreign military entrenchment.
The plan ties Hormuz more tightly to Iran's regional vision, calling the waterway central to a new order, legal management frameworks, and efforts to block hostile powers from exploiting the strait.
That approach also links regional control to domestic gains, with the statement saying new management of Hormuz should deliver stability, prosperity and direct economic benefits to Iranians.

Is the Hormuz crisis exposing fatal flaws in international law for an age of economic warfare?
