Hormuz

Hormuz refers to the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. It is a vital global energy corridor, as a significant portion of the world's oil passes through it. The strait is strategically important because it influences international oil supply and pricing. Due to its geopolitic significance, control or disruptions here can impact global markets and international security. The region around Hormuz includes Iran, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, making it a focal point for regional tensions and international diplomacy.
