Why it matters

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global energy transit corridor, carrying roughly a fifth of global oil and LNG supplies. Iran's assertion of control over this chokehold has led to significant disruption, with the pace of passages slowing to just over a dozen a day, a fraction of the prewar average.
