Why it matters
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global waterway, accounting for around a fifth of the world's oil and gas exports. Its operational status and control are vital to global energy security and maritime trade. Any change in the management or stability of the Strait could have significant consequences for international shipping and commodity prices.
The region has seen escalating military exchanges, including US strikes and Iranian retaliations, which threatened to derail the agreement aimed at ending military operations on all fronts. The diplomatic efforts are attempting to move past these violations and establish a sustainable path to lasting peace, which would directly impact the security and flow of traffic through the waterway.
