Strait Of Hormuz

Strait Of Hormuz

The military of the United Arab Emirates and Iran recently began their yearly drill in the Gulf of Oman's coastal region and close to the vital Strait of Hormuz.
The exercises are designed to increase preparation for dealing with outside threats and potential invasions.

About Strait of Hormuz:

A fifth of all oil sold at sea passes through the strait, which is at the mouth of the Persian Gulf and is vital to the world's energy resources.
The waterway connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea while dividing Iran and Oman.
The shipping route is only three km wide in each direction, despite the Strait being 33 km wide at its narrowest point.
The majority of crude exported by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Iraq is transported through this canal.
Additionally, it is the route taken by almost all of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced by Qatar, the largest LNG exporter in the world.
