Conflict at the Crossroads: Security Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz

Author(s) Dr. Vishnu Prakash Mangu
Country India
Abstract The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most critical maritime chokepoints in the world, shaping regional and global security. This article explores the geostrategic importance of the strait, its influence on energy markets, and the tensions arising from Iran – U.S. rivalry. It examines the role of regional states and external powers in safeguarding maritime security while balancing competing interests. The discussion highlights how disruptions in oil and gas transit affect global markets, alongside the strategies employed by Gulf states, the U.S., China, and Russia. Special attention is given to incidents such as tanker seizures, naval clashes, and asymmetric warfare that have increased risks of escalation. The article also assesses international legal frameworks and explores the role of multilateral initiatives in reducing conflict. Finally, it argues that greater cooperation, regional confidence-building, and legal mechanisms are essential to balance Iran’s sovereignty with the global need for uninterrupted trade. The analysis provides a roadmap for understanding how security, diplomacy, and law intersect at this vital maritime corridor.
Keywords Strait of Hormuz, maritime chokepoint, energy security, Iran–U.S. tensions, Gulf security, UNCLOS, oil transit, multilateral cooperation, naval strategy, international law.
