00:00A secret drone war is being fought over the world's oil supply.
00:03This is how U.S. jets are hunting Iranian drones in the dark.
00:06The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important energy choke point,
00:10and for months, it's been a high-stakes combat zone.
00:12You've heard rumors that the U.S. turned this waterway into a total drone no-fly zone,
00:17but the truth is much more intense.
00:19It isn't a literal no-fly zone.
00:21Instead, the U.S. has built a massive defensive umbrella.
00:24F-35S and electronic warfare planes are constantly patrolling the skies,
00:29using advanced radar to hunt down Iranian cruise missiles and drones
00:33before they can hit commercial tankers.
00:35It's a game of cat and mouse where one mistake could spike global oil prices overnight.
00:40While Iran constantly challenges the U.S. presence with small boats and drone swarms,
00:45the mission isn't to shut the Strait down.
00:46It's to keep the oil flowing at any cost.
00:49Is this defensive umbrella enough to prevent a full-scale conflict,
00:52or is the Strait just a ticking time bomb?
00:55Let me know what you think.
