Importance of Strait of Hormuz

Let us tell you that the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil and gas shipping routes in the world. A large part of the global energy supply passes through it. The ongoing US-Israel war with Iran poses a major threat to shipping tankers and cargo passing through this area. Iran has banned the passage of ships through Hormuz. However, later Iran said that it would not allow the ships of its enemy country to pass.
