BBC reports near Strait of Hormuz

The BBC’s senior international correspondent Orla Guerin traveled to the edge of the Strait of Hormuz in Oman, where Iran has been stranglehold since the war began.

The critical artery is normally used for 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.

By stranding ships in the waterway, Iran is reducing global oil supplies, driving up prices, creating fear among consumers and increasing pressure on the international community.
