Before 2026: When the World's Oil Route Came Under Attack | The Strait of Hormuz |

Every single day, nearly one-third of the world's traded oil passes through a narrow waterway just 21 miles wide — the Strait of Hormuz.

But what happens when that lifeline is threatened?

In 1987, during what historians call the Tanker War, ships began exploding in these waters. Eight vessels were destroyed in just eight weeks, triggering panic across the global oil market. Insurance costs surged, shipping routes became dangerous, and oil prices reacted almost overnight.

This documentary explores the real history behind one of the most strategically important locations on Earth. From the Iran-Iraq War to modern tensions, discover why this narrow passage remains critical to global trade, energy security, and economic stability.

Learn how a single chokepoint can influence oil prices, shipping costs, and the global economy — and why governments and industries continue to monitor this region closely.

Topics covered in this video: • The Strait of Hormuz explained
• The 1987 Tanker War history
