Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and by extension the Indian Ocean. 
In the first three decades of the 21st century, more than 40% of the world's crude oil passed through this strategic choke-point. The United Islamic Republic completely controlled the Strait of Hormuz after its victory in the Third Persian Gulf War.
