Strait of Hormuz: The tiny gap thaT controls the World’s oil

Описание: One narrow stretch of water carries a fifth of the world's oil. 🌍⛽
The Strait of Hormuz sits between Iran and Oman — the only sea door out of the Persian Gulf. At its narrowest it's just 39 kilometres wide, and the giant tankers squeeze through shipping lanes only two miles across.
Every day, around 20 million barrels of oil pass through here (US Energy Information Administration), plus a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas — most of it heading to Asia. That's why this tiny gap on the map can shake fuel prices across the entire planet.
So here's the question: should one waterway hold this much power over the world's energy? 👇
