The Hormuz Strait has long been a critical chokepoint in global maritime trade, with a significant portion of the world’s oil passing through its narrow waters. Recent tensions have escalated in this region, resulting in a crisis that has captured international attention.
According to the Center for International Maritime Security, control over such critical nodes will increasingly dominate maritime geopolitics.
