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!).

I have passed through Hormuz several times and watched the shipping from Oman and Iran from their vantage points. The North Oman port of Khasab is expanding to transport goods from UAE to Iran. The coastal road on the Oman West Coast must be the 8th wonder of the world..

Excellent video. I sailed from Abu Dhabi to Muscat, Oman last month. We went through the Strait of Hormuz. Very interesting journey and to know that the waterway is so important to the world's oil needs made the journey even more meaningful.
I have sailed through Hormuz and Malacca straits many times. If you can imagine traffic during the rush hours in the biggest cities, thats how is looks like to sail through those straits. Many many ships of various types and sizes. Hormuz is so important and it won't be closed till the last drop of oil. That's what i think. Cheers

Now they are claiming islands in the Persian Gulf.

Well, the Saudis have the money to trench/dredge and build bridges and use the material to build more Islands, then blow up a couple of old ships to block off Iran from using the Strait. Of course for every actions there's payback and inland Saudi may be lower than the Ocean or the motion of the waves could begin to eat away Saudi. I'm sure they have engineers that are thinking of ways to make it pay for itself.

It is not a big problem bring the oil by means of small ships which can easily pass through the narrow and shallow strait quickly and after passing, transfer the oil from smaller to bigger ships and then move..

The only thing I would add is.... many countries are not reliant on Oil from the Arabian Peninsula. The USA for instance gets more Oil from itself around 60+% and I believe maybe 14% from the Arabian Peninsula. Other Countries like Nigeria, Venezuela produce a lot however are unstable.

I think it will be better if you use standard google map picture whenever you showing the map, not the satellite view of the land, thus the viewer can easily see and understand the name of the countries and it's boundaries. Also everytime you need to show the flag of the country, it will be easier if you add the name of the country it's belong.
