Is Iran losing control of the Strait of Hormuz? The strategic waterway has become the centre of the escalating Iran-US confrontation, with both sides making competing claims over who controls the world's most important energy chokepoint.
In this video, we explain why Iran's grip over the Strait of Hormuz may be weakening, how ships are increasingly choosing the Oman route, and why Tehran has reportedly targeted vessels attempting to bypass its preferred shipping corridor.
The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea and normally carries around 20 million barrels of oil per day, making any disruption a major threat to global energy markets.
We also examine Donald Trump's claims of US control over Hormuz, the US naval blockade, Iran's efforts to impose control and transit fees, the role of Oman, the rise of alternative shipping routes and the growing use of so-called dark shipping, where tankers switch off their tracking transponders.
Recent maritime data shows that shipping through Hormuz remains significantly below normal levels, but vessels are still finding ways to move through the waterway. Reuters reported nine commodity vessels crossing on August 19, while other shipping intelligence indicates additional traffic may be missed because some vessels turn off their transponders.
So, does Iran still control the Strait of Hormuz? Can the US Navy guarantee safe passage? Why are ships choosing Oman's side? And what does this mean for global oil supplies, India, China and the world economy?
Watch the full video for a detailed explanation of the Strait of Hormuz crisis, Iran-US conflict, Oman route and the changing balance of power in the Gulf.
