With recent drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil production, the Strait of Hormuz could become the centre of tensions once again.

The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. This narrow shipping route transports one third of all of the sea-transited oil on EARTH!
In recent months attacks on ships in the Gulf of Oman have threatened the stability of the Strait of Hormuz as a shipping route. Find out how disruptions in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman might affect global oil trade, and what countries have done to try to mitigate this (oil and gas pipelines!).
