I’m looking at the map about the strait of hormuz, I’ve looked up what made it so important and I still don’t get it. I thought that the reason there is so much conflict over it, was that I assumed it looked like it was a very integral passageway for ships to get in and out of. But looking at the map again, it only goes straight to into Kuwait.
What am I missing here? Couldn’t the ships just, not bother with that part and route through elsewhere?
oh no, poor King Al Saud. They literally piss away trillions from oil revenues. While there is zero infrastructure to the west.
