Look at a map, and look at what was written.
Ships cannot pass the straight without using territorial waters.

And if we are still at war we can enter their waters at will, do whatever we want and we can say anything about why we are there.

If????????
If you are at war like tater says you are where is the declaration of the state of war and where is the notification you have to give to all neutrals warning them of the conflict?
Besides which the "do whatever you want" bit is wrong as if you were at a state of war you would be bound by the laws of war.

have the Unclassified MoD report nowhere do they say the HMS Cornwall boarding team entered Iranian waters.

Thats because its disputed waters. The false claim was that they were definately in Iraqi waters wasn't it which they cannot have been as the boundary which seperates them from Iranian waters is not settled by the two relevant parties.

Provide that request if it exists.
Besides which at that time the forces were operting under the UN mandate not under the later sofa agreed with the Iraqi government and of course a unilateral declaration by one party does not amount to an agreement between two parties.

You mean your country abandond one of its friends and failed to honour its treaty with another.....though of course it gets more complicated since the Falklands happen to be disputed territory don't they
OK thats an idea, we have already established that you have difficulty telling the difference between what is a boundary and a notional boundary, can you explain what disputed territory means?
