Iran’s Secret Weapon: The Strait Of Hormuz And The Global Oil Shock | Middle East War | N18G

Описание: The Strait of Hormuz has emerged as one of the most critical battlegrounds in the ongoing conflict involving Iran. This narrow maritime corridor connects the Persian Gulf to global shipping lanes and is widely considered the most important oil chokepoint in the world.

Nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz every day, making it a vital artery for the global economy.

Because Iran controls the northern coastline of the strait, it holds a major strategic advantage. Tehran has invested heavily in naval mines, anti-ship missiles, drones, and fast attack boats that can disrupt shipping traffic and threaten oil tankers passing through the waterway.

Even small disruptions in this narrow channel can send oil prices soaring and create global economic shockwaves. Analysts say Iran does not need to completely block the strait to gain leverage — simply raising the risk for tankers and insurers can slow shipping and drive up energy prices worldwide.
