As the West Asia war enters its 12th day, the strategic Strait of Hormuz is emerging as a decisive factor in the conflict.
When the United States and Israel launched initial military strikes on Iran, they expected a rapid capitulation. Instead, Iran’s control over Hormuz has complicated military plans and triggered a global energy crisis, with oil markets and trade flows under intense pressure.
Analysts now suggest that the fate of the Strait of Hormuz could directly influence the political and military outcomes for Donald Trump, making this waterway the key to the war’s endgame.
