STRait OF HORMUZ CLOSED
Iran, which has increased its attacks in its war with the US and Israel, played its biggest card. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps announced that they have closed the Strait of Hormuz. The Revolutionary Guards stated, "We will target every ship attempting to pass."
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
The Strait of Hormuz is considered the most critical and sensitive "jugular vein" of global energy security; approximately one-third of the oil transported by sea and a significant portion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) pass through this narrow waterway. Located between Oman and Iran, this strait has a narrowest point of about 33 kilometers and serves as a challenging alternative that connects major oil producers in the Persian Gulf to the open seas. During periods of escalating regional tensions, the mere possibility of the strait being closed can cause panic waves in global energy markets and lead to rapid price increases, making control and navigation security over Hormuz a geopolitical issue that directly affects not only the countries in the region but the entire world economy.
