Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically vital maritime chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the wider Indian Ocean. Historically, it has been a key trade route for centuries, facilitating the exchange of goods between the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. Today, it is of immense global economic importance as a passage for about one-fifth of the world’s oil shipments, making its security a persistent geopolitical concern.
