Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman
Recently, two oil tankers named Adalynn and Front Eagle caught fire after a collision near the Strait of Hormuz, raising global concerns about energy security and trade stability. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow and strategic waterway that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. It lies between Iran on the north and the Arabian Peninsula on the south, specifically the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Musandam region of Oman. This route is vital for global oil transport, with a large share of the world’s oil passing through it daily.
