They're not natural waterways, somebody had to make them so the law doesn't apply. Same for Great Lakes Waterway.
Besides, international law only applies to you if you agree to it. Both US and Iran do not agree with this.
US also has a law that say US can use military force against the ICC if any US citizen is arrested by the ICC.
That’s not true. Customary international law also applies to states, that are not themselves members of a treaty. In the case of international maritime war and international humanitarian laws this is widely accepted as such.
Maybe that used to be the case but the USA does it different
International law is more like a code of conduct. Also as with most laws, if you’re powerful enough you can ignore the law.
