Both the US and Iran are firing on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Are both sides acting lawfully?

Over the past several days, there have been conflicting reports about the Strait of Hormuz. It’s difficult to know what’s happening from one moment to the next. Iran said the waterway was open to commercial shipping again, then turned around and said it was closed. Iran then fired at two Indian-flagged ships going through the strait, forcing them to turn around.

It’s caused a global fuel crisis, even though some ships are managing to get through the strait. US President Donald Trump has given Iran an ultimatum to fully reopen the waterway to oil and gas shipments, and called on NATO allies to help in the effort.
