Israel attacks Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure.

Does Iran have any sovereign right to close the Strait of Hormuz?

If not, could closing or blockading it be legitimately considered an act of war against all nations dependent on it for oil?

Strictly speaking, closing the straight would be a violation of customary law of the sea, and for ratifying nations, a violation of the UN Convention on the Laws of the Sea. However, Iran only owns the territorial waters on their half of the straight. The other half is territory of Oman, so one might argue that any military actions taken to close the straight in Omani waters would constitute an act of war against Oman.

Your desire to take shots at Dems made you miss the mark here. The funnier joke would have been "The reason there were no leaks was because they took Pete's phone away."
Nah. Just like the B2’s headed to Guam, the Signal leak was a giant head fake intended to get the Iranians to monitor the wrong platform.
 
I live here and haven't been to the Air Show once. I went to one at Miramar years ago and to Thunder over the Ohio once. That's enough. I've seen plenty of flight operations in my life. ;)
Maverick and Ice Man were here, and I know they have seen a lot of air ops:). I got a photo with them, honestly, very tough to tell them from the originals in a lineup.

I keep threatening to go to Osh Kosh for their show.
 
There are so many you'll need to Google it. Been going on a couple of days now. Here's an example.

Hamas run health ministry? & people make fun of dbm for sourcing the Russian Times? Good grief, don’t let your bias turn you into a dimwit….

It's coming up pretty quickly. You better get there before it's to late.
