It seems UNCLOS reserves any nation under attack (like Iran) the right to defend itself, including in national waters (12mi) and respond with proportional means. This is exactly where i have to agree with Irans blockade being "illegal". The reaction to block the straits for everyone while being attacked by the USA, this i would consider to be disproportionate.
Except that everyone is buying and selling oil with the USA. It's a global commodity. If Iran could hit just the USA then I have no doubt that they would. That and I doubt that they're feeling hugely charitable right now.
