Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz is a very special place where the sea meets the land. It's like a narrow passageway that connects the big ocean to a smaller sea. The Strait of Hormuz is very important because it's the only way ships can get in and out of the smaller sea called the Persian Gulf.

This passageway is located between two countries: Iran and Oman. Because it's so narrow, only a few ships can pass through it at once. That's why it's such a strategic location for countries and businesses that use ships to transport oil and other important goods.

Sometimes, countries like Iran exhibit their power by threatening to stop ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This causes concern for other countries that rely on the passageway to transport goods. So, it's very important for countries to work together to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and safe for all ships that need to use it.
