- The Strait of Hormuz, “the jugular of the global economy," has become a useful bargaining chip for Iran.
Become a Video Lab member! bit.ly/video-lab
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway that lies between Iran and Oman. This 21 mile-wide passage supports 20% of the world’s oil supply. A closure of this waterway could send the global economy into a tailspin.
In recent months, several oil tankers have been seized, attacked and harassed. These oil tankers - and this narrow water passage - are at the center of the conflict between the US and Iran. It's a conflict that spans decades and has the potential to escalate in one of the world’s most important oil chokepoints.

Just to clarify for some people here. "Alter course to 360 degrees" is different to "make a 360 degree turn".
I was wondering that the entire video. Thanks for clarifying!
Lol make a full circle and go back the direction you were already going?
Shouldn't it then be a 180 degree turn??
Could you explain the difference?
@@BothHands1 it means turn the ship so it faces 360 degrees (i.e. North)
That would mean to head towards North correct?
Wow I never knew the US shot down an Iranian passenger plane
And funded Saddam’s war on Iran. And overthrew Iran’s democratically elected president in the 50’s.
US education at its finest hour.
It’s really sad. The US constantly calls us, Iranians ‘terrorists’, yet they have not even once apologized for killing 290 innocent passengers on an Iranian aircraft. The person who shot down the plane even got a medal, awarded to him by the president.
@@dawnofzaffron1503 "deeply regrettable loss of human lives" is as close to an apology that can be expected in wartime. Terrorists don't make the same kind of response. I don't disagree about the medals, that seems pretty dubious.

It's not terrorism if the US does it. :)
Well a lot of nations sign up with the US whenever it does something. So it kind of clears them, internationally legally speaking. Although war crimes do happen.
In Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the US went along with many Western nations and was backed by a lot of countries internationally. So people blame the US but not the other participants.
@@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_ US invaded Iraq despite the whole world saying NO but still did it to complete their agenda/saying Iraq having WMD.....but the truth is they wanted the oil and create the environment for ISIS/terrorism to their next phase in middle East plan which worked perfectly and they continuing without stopping.
Shinto my pants Bro imagine if a military group decided to topple a democratically elected government just to be able to take their oil or get it for a cheaper price. They're basically just terrorists with nuclear bombs.

@@someiranian1840 it was war and the best thing the us could have done in that situation.
How can you hide the fact British first captured Iran tanker. In response Iran captured British tanker
That's because it passed trough the strait of Gibraltar, which is prohibited by Un sanctions
considering that the Iranian tanker known as grace 1 was breaking international law and sanctions imposed by Europe (nothing to do with Iran and the US) on Syria as its in a Civil war and was in British waters, Britain was fully within its right to stop and size the Grace 1, Iran however captured the British tanker Stena Impero while in international waters. the incident has nothing to do with the US's and irans current conflict.
Iranian tanker was in international shipping lane, the brits seized it by violence, dragged it into giblartar's water, which is Spanish btw and claimed it was in their waters wherein eruopean sanctions are imposed on Syria.
First thats eu sanction not un second its captured in spain water not British.
@@richiec604 It was breaking UK laws, not international laws, as Syria is sanctioned by Europe, not Iran, which means Iran had the same legitimacy aprehending the ship as the Brits did. Also, both straits are international waters btw

Old men wanting to rule the world
wrong,its capitalism
It’s a bit rich from US to decide who should have nuclear weapons. Coming from the only country to have used it.
TWICE!!!!!
It's a bit rich that you never studied history
I hate it. But tbh they earned that spot cuz WW2 and cold war. No other country could beat it :v
thank God they used them . Japan killed 10 million people in world war 2
Andy Hara you’re agreeing to the bombing of the civilians? I guess you also agree with the bombing America did in the Middle East too, right
@@09BIJAN09 Japan was the aggressor that engulfed all of Asia, the Pacific , America and Australia in a war. They murdered 10 million people. The dropping of the nuclear bombs brought an end to the war in the pacific.
Hi Vox, hopefully you can create a video like this or documentary about the financial crises that happened in the past
And all this time until the end of the video I thought you were talking about the Suez channel somehow lol
I need to go back to sleep haha
alter course to 360 degrees.

2021 : Renewable energy rises to 100%
Nah, oil is too important for us right now, I don't see it being replaced completely anytime soon..
@@real_aswin yep, humanity will feast on it til the last barrel
@Aswin I mean, people haven't found an alternative to fossil-fuel engine for airplane, then yeah, you're correct.
@@stormystudios9804 yeah, but local supplies of oil can easily give us enough to supply everything that just cant use renewable energy sources.
It would be the best strategy against iran, Saudi Arabia and all the fanatics in the world
And here we are seeing the real events unfold in front of the world..
Excellent narration 👌🏽
Please Vox make a video about the Amazon fire please! We need to bring more awareness to the issue!
Vox isn't an advocacy group. They make videos about world events to educate, not to "bring more awareness" for a purpose other than to educate.
Why? Fires are burning at a rate similar to the average according to NASA scientists.
@@Aceorbit vox is advocacy group that just don't want to admit it, they made plenty of videos that shows it.
I think there's enough exposure already.
@asthma attack right? Plus awareness isn't gonna put out the fires anyway. The whole planet could be aware yet the fires still rage
From the thumbnail, I thought it was Panama Canal.
me too.
HAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂
:) me too
It seems to be similarly important. I take it if Panama imposed an embargo the world economy would be in even more distress.
Kinda look alike
Interesting video thankyou
"Alter your course to 360 degrees immediately"
Ship: Am I a joke to you?
Straightforward delivery, and good use of infographics. Nice job.
Why does the u.s feel like they have the right to this area?
US: because i wants all the oils
Ewarton Charlton what does this have to do with white supremacy
ironic "white supremacy" when the us hates it
@Ewarton Charlton umm yeah.... thats the reason 😂😂😂
Bc that is a strategic location and if they want to stop us from using that we have to then take it from them
Where are the weapons of mass destruction the Iraqis supposed to have??
The us destroyed them all
@@hassoomii have you seen?
Great content
These are always the best Vox videos.
Learned so much about Iranian/USA conflict.
You think you learned. You got misinformed unfortunately.
Too bad you only learn one side of the story
You havent learned nothing mate you just learned misinformation
Vox is very one sided news (pro USA) be careful
Finally, metric units in a Vox video!
😐
Yeah, kudos to them for listening!
TraRob-EastSide just look up conversions, that what I do, it isn’t fair to use a system only two countries use
My bachelors thesis was about the strait of hormuz one of the most interesting part of my life to get to know the history and importance of this waterway.
Suddenly, this video became even more important than it already was
