Tips for your answer

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow but strategically vital maritime corridor connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, through which nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply transits.
Located between Iran and Oman, the strait functions as a critical global energy chokepoint, making it central to international geopolitics and maritime security.
Any disruption due to regional conflicts or tensions can significantly affect global energy markets, supply chains, and energy-importing economies such as India.
