The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most critical arteries of the global energy system. Nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through this narrow waterway every day, making it central to international trade, energy security, and geopolitical stability.
The Strait is not only a vital economic corridor but also a powerful geopolitical lever. Any disruption—real or threatened—can ripple across global supply chains, raise energy prices, and increase strategic tensions among major powers.
Ensuring stability in this region requires diplomatic engagement, secure maritime routes, and long-term diversification of global energy sources.
