The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical chokepoints in the global energy system. Located between Iran and Oman, this narrow maritime corridor carries roughly one fifth of the world’s oil supply. Any disruption in this strategic passage could immediately affect global markets, energy prices and geopolitical stability, making it a central pressure point in tensions between Iran, the United States and regional powers.

The confrontation between Iran and the United States is not only a political dispute but a long geopolitical conflict rooted in history, energy routes and regional power dynamics. From the Strait of Hormuz to global oil markets, this series explores how Iran, the U.S. and Israel shape the strategic balance of the Middle East and influence the stability of global energy and security systems.
