It was not. It was just a misunderstanding. Some @$$ holes on the guard net (or its naval equivalent) talking $h!t in the middle of an encounter between IRGCN and USN forces and the USN forces assumed they were taking to them. If this happened in US waters the USCG would have found out who was misusing the radio net and prosecuted them.
This was the equivalent of listening on a police scanner and in the middle of a standoff going on your own radio on the police channel and saying "Shots fired".

Can you find any agreement between the two nations that both recognise an established maritime boundary between the two states in that location?
No, so it is disputed and that is beyond dispute.

The boundary is recognized by the parties what is not recognized is where boundary currently falls. The required surveys were not conducted after the Iran-Iraq war so the current charts showing the boundary are not up to date with the current holographic situation.

Though as you wished to mention that treaty, if it were in effect it would mean that the sofa Iraq has given the coilition would be invalid and the US and British could not be in Iraq at all.

The Treaty was between Iran and Iraq the US and the UK Etc were not participants.
