Why the US and Iran are fighting over this tiny waterway

- 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.

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.
@Shinto my pants Bro terrorism- the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
When people are dying that's terrorism. Check your "intelligence."

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)

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

@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
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.
love this video edit
Switching to renewable energy will literally solve almost all major global issues.
Go eat a carrot
@@sundaypro ?
You don’t get it boomer
Will it really? Iran's economy relies on oil. What will they do when everyone doesn't need oil anymore?
@@mintcake2668 they need to diversify the ways they earn money, renewables are the way forward wether we like it or not. Relying on 1 resource to keep your economy running never works and it works even less if that resource is non renewable.
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
this channel tells everything that happened in a true way which is great, but it needs to tell why exactly every discussion was made, telling the story is not enough
This one needs a part 2
Many of the videos in ur channel needs a follow up. Please to consider
4:04 No, the US didn't enter the war in 1987. it entered it in 1980 after the US ordered Sadam Hussein to order his troops across the Iranian frontier as said in 2:55 .
A proxy war is still a war.
3:05 He says the US entered the war in 1980.
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
Suddenly, this video became even more important than it already was
very interesting, this was just months before the Iranian-backed attack on a US embassy in Iraq followed by the US airstrike that killed Solemani. Makes sense why the tensions were so high between both countries at that time!
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
Great video. This is what Vox is good at! More of international geopolitical coverage please!
I'm here after the murder of the Iranian Quds leader
Murder? Trump felt like it...a dead terrorist. Whop! He just got a new Reaper and testing its effeciency. Nothing to see here. LOL.
@Chris Roe
Yes - murderers can be murdered.
Murder means illegal killing of human beings, it doesnt matter at all what they might be culpable of.
And an illegal killing it was!
When one nation bombs a high-ranking official of another country on a third countries soil, also killing military officers of their allied third country. With no proof, no war declaration, no trial - thats a war crime and a state-sponsored murder, no doubt about it.
Murder?
Where are the weapons of mass destruction the Iraqis supposed to have??
The us destroyed them all
@@hassoomii have you seen?
Trump is that guy in school. Who used to bully the whole class without any reason.
Aman Chandravanshi actually, the us government for years has been the guy in school who bullies other classmates just because
But he's also the same guy who would get beaten up by the Seniors. Like a Sophomore bully or something.
Don't worry, China is about to become the new kid in school who is 3 years older and got expelled from the previous one for stabbing the principal
@@sam08g16 yeah😝🤣🤣🤣
@@sam08g16 us *imposes sanctions on china*
Wow. Great summary. The history of the regional conflict is much longer than most young people think. Thank you for sharing
Vox... you missed a very important point intentionally...your not mentioned that british navy forces captured iranian tanker in jabal al tarigh strait near spain and then iran captured british tanker instead
Very informative
