Why it matters
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint for oil and maritime trade. Its closure or instability, as seen when Iran previously closed the Strait, roils global oil markets and threatens the stability of the entire region. The ability to reopen this route is vital for global economic flow.
The conflict has been costly, with the overall price tag of Operation Epic Fury estimated at $100 billion. The status of the Strait directly impacts the economic viability of the conflict, as the continued closure of the route has been a major geopolitical captivity for the global economy.
