@ThatCrazyDude @Humpleupagus @LivingSpaceStudios @white_male >>Iran has no right to do what they're doing in the strait, and thus they can't fuckin' claim moral high ground when they're being pounded for that. I mean, c'mon.

Questions: Why is the strait of Hormuz known since antiquity as the "Persian Gulf"?

What is the distance from Iran (Persia) to the gulf?

What is the distance from Israel to the Gulf?

And most important of them all:

What is the distance from the closest point in USA to the Gulf?

Bonus question: What are territorial waters and how long do they extend?
