The Strait of Hormuz has become the latest major flashpoint in the escalating US-Iran confrontation. President Donald Trump has claimed that the United States has “total control” of the strategic waterway. Iran has rejected that assertion, insisting the strait will remain closed until Washington changes its “behaviour” and accepts Tehran’s conditions. Iranian officials have also been engaging with China as the standoff over Hormuz deepens.
The waterway is crucial to global energy markets, with roughly one-fifth of global oil and natural-gas shipments passing through it during peacetime. Shipping disruptions and heightened security risks are already putting pressure on energy markets. The latest developments raise major questions: Who really controls the Strait of Hormuz? Can US military power force the waterway open? What does Iran want from Washington? And what role could China play as negotiations remain deadlocked?
