Weapons and ships await in the Strait
Once again, international attention is focused on the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered one of the most volatile waterways due to tensions between the United States and Iran. Iran maintains a heavy military presence in the strait through anti-ship missiles, fast boats, and submarines, employing multiple leverage tools, despite affirming that it has not officially closed it. In response, the United States relies on naval forces that include aircraft carriers, destroyers, and advanced electronic surveillance, transforming the strait into a potential confrontation zone that could lead to a global crisis. There has been a significant decline in ship traffic and extremely high security costs. The strait is one of the most vital arteries for global energy, with daily transit of between 18 to 20 million barrels of oil and 20% of the world's liquefied natural gas trade.
