Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 29/07/20261/15 I've published a new article looking at what some commentators are calling the "Malacca Model" for the Strait of Hormuz. After digging into the evidence, I think that comparison asks the wrong question. #TheHormuzCrisis #MaritimeSecurity 1188
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 29/07/20262/15 Most discussion treats Hormuz and Malacca as separate strategic problems. One is seen as a Middle Eastern security issue, the other as a Southeast Asian shipping route. Commercial shipping doesn't see the world that way. 150
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 29/07/20263/15 For much of East Asia's energy supply, Hormuz and Malacca are successive gateways within the same supply chain. Disruption in one inevitably affects the other because they are part of the same maritime system, not isolated waterways. 161
