Is Iran losing its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz?
Al Jazeera examines whether Iran's influence over the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for roughly a fifth of the world's oil shipments, is diminishing. The question touches on Tehran's long-standing threat to disrupt shipping there as a bargaining tool, and whether shifting regional alignments and military pressures have weakened that leverage. Analysts are weighing what reduced Iranian leverage would mean for global oil markets and Gulf security.
Why now: Ongoing tensions in the Gulf and rising oil-market sensitivity keep debate alive over Iran's ability to threaten the world's key oil transit route.
