Assalamualaikum Dost

Assalamualaikum Dost..., these days the Strait of Hormuz is making headlines. What exactly is the Strait of Hormuz...? Why is it so important...? And what would happen to the world if it were completely closed...? Let’s find out in this short video. My name is Qasim Salman...., and you are watching our series Recent Events, episode....: Strait of Hormuz. Viewers..., today the world is going through a crisis that is not just about war, but... has become a threat to the entire global economy. This is why, due to rising tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel.., the Strait of Hormuz has once again become the center of global attention. According to reports..., because of attacks during this tension, traffic through this important sea route has nearly come to a halt. As a result..., not only has the supply of oil been severely affected.., but oil prices are also rising rapidly—shaking the global economy. So, why is the Strait of Hormuz so important? Friends, nearly 20% of the world’s oil passes through this narrow sea route... It lies between Iran and Oman.. and connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea... This is the route through which oil from Gulf countries reaches the rest of the world. These Gulf countries include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE... Naturally..., if this route is blocked...., not only the world but also these countries’ interests would be severely affected.
