Repost on international air space of Iran and Omani.
Per Pepe Escobar's Facebook page
FROM ONE OF MY TOP IRAN SOURCES:
"What you said about there being no "international waters" in the Strait at its narrowest point is true. But it is also true that there is no such thing in its wide points either, as the 12 nautical miles is measured not from the Iranian (or Omani) coastline but from the point the continental shelf drops off into the depths."
Along with islands of Iran that expand their territory. So! In other words. The drone was clearly out of international territory. It was either in Iran or Omani?
That was yesterdays post.
Per ----- OccupyMARINES from my Facebook page
OUR DRONE THAT WAS SHOT DOWN BY IRAN WAS NOT IN 'INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE'.
International law (as if that means anything to the U.S.) = a nation's airspace extends 12 miles from its shoreline.
"The Straits of Hormuz are 21 miles wide, meaning that there is no international airspace over the Straits. (See comments fur additional information.)
The airspace is either Iranian or Omani. Such a basic, and easily-checked concept belies the US argument that its drone was in international airspace." -- Matthew Hoh
Please also note that our corrupt and complicit oligarch controlled media sources, on both sides, are parroting this lie, without even bothering to fact check a single word.
*Edit, I just watched ABC news parrot this exact bullshit, like "the U.S. says the drone was in international airspace, and Iran 'says' it was in their airspace, but we don't really know..." JFC, check out the facts of international airspace why don't you! I did! There are only facts. Opinions and opines are not 'facts, only facts are facts.
As one commenter on OccupyMARINES correctly advised, (Nautical miles are longer than regular miles as well).
