The strikes ignited the concerns that Iran is possible and how such answers can be in the form. Among them can hinder oil exports from oil exports by a large trade trade in large trade trade in part managed by the country.

What is the Strait of Hormuz and why is it important?

The Hormuz Strait, located between Oman and Iran, unites the Gulf of Oman and the Arab Sea Gulf and the narrow point, which is only 21 miles. An important part of water, global trading infrastructure, simplifies transit of millions of oil and oil products a day, according to Energy Information Management or EIA, an arm of the US Department of Energy.

Iran is running along the border and manages the northern side of the throat, which controls the southern side of Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Therefore, the throat became one of the most important oil in the world. Last week, an analysis of the EIA issued as “narrow channels along global energy security for global energy security” can increase shipping costs and passes the supply of shipping.

Iran has long been the threat of closing its throat as a way to protect the sore throat.

Which products have passed through the throat?

In 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025, the EIA, one-fifth of oil and oil consumption in the world, a quarter of global maritime oil trade, which is about five in the world.

The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Iran could do next “Margaret Brennan and the nation’s face” An Iranian efforts to block his throat would be “suicide”, probably with a large group of strong countries to be affected by such a decision.

“If they do this, the first people who should be angry about it are the Chinese government because many oil comes from there,” he said. The mining causes sea mines – explosives – the placement of the vessels trying to cross the ship in water.

If this had to happen, Rubio said that China said, “Every country in the world, including the United States,” he said

“It will affect us a little. He will have more influence on the rest of the world,” he said hypothetically. “I think it’s in turn, because I think the world will come against them.”
