P1:StraitofHormuzUnderThreat

Описание: The Strait of Hormuz may look like a narrow waterway on the map, but it is one of the most critical energy chokepoints in the world. Now new concerns are emerging that Iran could deploy naval mines in the strait. These underwater explosives are relatively cheap, sometimes costing only a few thousand dollars but they can damage or sink billion-dollar ships.

Naval mines can be deployed from ships, submarines, aircraft, or fast boats used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. Because the strait’s shipping lanes are narrow and shallow, even a small number of mines could disrupt maritime traffic.

The result wouldn’t just be a military problem; it could quickly become a global energy and economic crisis, as shipping companies and oil tankers avoid one of the world’s most important trade routes.
