| description | The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global oil chokepoint that links the Persian Gulf
and the Gulf of Oman to the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. It contains narrow
international shipping lines in the territorial waters of Iran and Oman, and the
narrowest point is only two kilometres wide. Nevertheless, major powers have
devoted their interest in the Strait especially the United States of America. This
research has been conducted to analyse the factor contributing to the conflict in
the Straits of Hormuz and its implications for Iran and Oman. The objectives of
this research are: i) to identify the importance of the Strait of Hormuz; ii) to
examine the causes and impacts of the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz for Iran
and Oman; and iii) to analyse the potential cooperation between Iran and Oman
in handling the dispute in the Strait of Hormuz. This research has used qualitative
approaches and secondary data were the main sources. The concepts of power
and national interest have been used to explain the issues. The findings of this
research are i) the strategic location of the Strait of Hormuz has become a factor
of conflicts as it is the SLOC to economic activities and strategic purpose; ii) the
conflicts in the Straits of Hormuz will cause a decline of economic activities and
the Straits to become a battlefield to both countries; and, iii) both countries should
use diplomacy to settle their crisis which if escalates, will bring disaster to each
side. |
