Strait of Hormuz region
US reasserting military dominance in West Asia through Israel partnership; Iran's regional influence weakened by reported military losses; India exposed as vulnerable energy importer dependent on unstable supply routes; global energy markets increasingly subject to geopolitical coercion.
1973 Yom Kippur War oil embargo and 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War tanker wars, both causing global energy crises and demonstrating Hormuz strait's strategic chokepoint vulnerability.
