A lot of that middle eastern oil and gas has to navigate the The Strait of Hormuz. It provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and is one of the world's most strategically important choke points. At its narrowest point, the strait is 21 miles across and consists of 2-mile wide navigable channels for inbound and outbound shipping and a 2-mile-wide buffer zone. and guess what? Iran has the eastern bank. Should the channel ever be closed there would be some seriously unhappy people around the world.
