That would be under laws of the sea, look at any map of the straights.
You can find the line that delieates Omani waters and Iranian waters. There is no gap between the two. there is no "international waters" and there is no "three mile limit" as both countries are signatories to the law which sets it at twelve miles.
America never signed, which puts it league with places like Kazachstan, but that is irrelevant as it is not American waters and the US/USSR declaration on territorial waters issued in 1989 recognises the territorial waters as defined by the signatories of the 1982 law which defines the 12 mile limit.
