The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, with a significant portion of the world's oil passing through it daily. Any threat to its closure or disruption by Iran, a major regional power, can trigger significant instability in global energy markets and lead to international diplomatic and military tensions.
