Now you know, and you see Iran on the north facing Qatar of the UAE across these Straits.
In 2015 UAE had population of 5,779,760 of which some 80% were expatriates.
On the other hand, Iran has a population estimate in 2016 of 82.8 million. It has a Army that is battle tested in its war with Iraq, a navy of some significance, a clutch of home developed missile that can reach Israel, an air force of old US phantoms and current Chinese J-17 jets and a nuclear program to develop energy for its people.
Now, this is the question:
Who has effective control
over this teeny weeny gap of water?
Of course there are some American warships about.
So . . . ?
