There's a stretch of ocean just 21 miles wide where one-fifth of the world's oil passes through every single day. Close it for even a week, and gas prices spike globally within 72 hours. It's called a maritime chokepoint — and there are only a handful on Earth that matter this much.
In this video, we break down:
• What a maritime chokepoint actually is, and why the Strait of Hormuz matters most
• The 1956 Suez Crisis — how economic pressure ended Britain's superpower status overnight
• Why Hormuz and the Taiwan Strait are the two chokepoints analysts watch most right now
Stratacrypt decodes the geopolitics, conflicts, and power shifts shaping the world — before they become headlines.
