00:00This is one of the most dangerous choke points in the world, which can trigger World War III at any time.
00:05It is known as the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most crucial choke points.
00:09Controlling it means having control over the entire world, while blocking it could block the whole world.
00:14Located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, this strait lies just 33 km wide, with Iran to the north and Oman to the south.
00:23The main reason for its importance is that around 30% of the world's crude oil and 20% of its natural gas pass through this narrow waterway.
00:31Surprisingly, the Middle East holds 50% of the world's total oil reserves, which are exported to the world through this very route.
00:39No single country has direct control over the Strait of Hormuz.
00:42Its passage is governed by UNCLOS.
00:45Iran and Oman share the responsibility of ensuring the safety and security of all vessels passing through.
00:51And as part of this, they may collect maritime fees from the ships.
00:55If Iran were to block the Strait of Hormuz, whether due to conflict or any other reason,
01:00it could severely disrupt global energy supplies and potentially trigger a collapse of the world economy.
