Strategically, the Strait of Hormuz is the perfect place for Iran to hold the world economy hostage—something understood by every previous president who refrained from starting wars against Iran’s repressive, hostile, and expansionist regime. That is obviously not the case with President Donald Trump.At its narrowest point, the strait is around 21 miles wide. But the actual shipping lanes are far narrower—just two miles for inbound traffic and two miles for outbound. Tankers move through single file, with almost no room to maneuver. In that narrow corridor, tankers—and any naval vessels escorting them—become easy targets. Warships rely heavily on maneuverability, distance, and layered defenses to survive modern combat. The Strait of Hormuz strips away most of those advantages. Ships moving through the channel cannot spread out or maneuver freely, and have only seconds to react to threats launched from Iran’s nearby coastline.And those threats are plentiful. Iran has invested heavily in shore-based anti-ship missiles, rocket batteries, naval drones, and swarms of cheap attack craft designed specifically for this kind of confined waterway. A tanker convoy moving slowly through a two-mile lane becomes a predictable target.Even modern warships would be under severe pressure. Missile defense systems can intercept incoming threats, but they are designed to handle limited salvos—not waves of drones, rockets, and missiles launched simultaneously from multiple locations along the coast. Reaction times would be measured in seconds.We’ve already seen how vulnerable naval vessels can be in the age of cheap drone warfare. Ukraine managed to cripple Russia’s Black Sea fleet without possessing a traditional navy of its own, even sinking the Moskva, Russia’s flagship cruiser. Small, relatively inexpensive drones and missiles forced Russia’s fleet to retreat from large portions of the Black Sea, defeating their effort to blockade Ukraine’s port of Odesa. Now imagine that kind of threat environment squeezed into a narrow sea lane bordering hostile territory.
