“Anyway, We will soon make the Strait of Hormuz OPEN, SAFE and FREE!” – concluded the US president.
The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important checkpoint for energy trade, through which about one-fifth of global oil transport passes. Due to its narrow width and lack of real transport alternatives, its blocking leads to a sharp increase in fuel prices and a global energy crisis. It is a key link connecting Middle Eastern producers with Asian and Western markets, which gives it great geopolitical importance.
