Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 08/06/20263/13 For years, discussion around Hormuz focused on oil access and availability. That framing is now too narrow. Modern trade depends on interconnected chokepoints. Pressure applied in one location rarely stays there. #MaritimeSecurity 181 0

Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 08/06/20265/13 I've argued before that Bab al-Mandeb is the natural companion chokepoint to Hormuz. One affects Gulf exports. The other affects Suez-linked container and goods traffic moving between Europe and Asia. #BabAlMandeb 171 0
