Who Holds Hormuz After Six Months

After six months of escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz has become a major theater of conflict, with parties vying for control due to its economic and strategic significance. Washington affirms that the international route through the strait is safe, noting that more than 155 ships have passed since May, carrying over 750 million barrels of oil. While the United States takes military measures such as mine clearance, Iran continues to threaten in order to exploit the location to disrupt maritime navigation. The escalation demonstrates that the strait is not under the control of any one party, as Iran possesses considerable ability to hinder shipping through threats and military actions. Meanwhile, the U.S. relies on economic pressure in an attempt to control the situation and prevent Iranian oil exports, even as both sides’ missile stockpiles diminish and Iran's manufacturing capacities slow down.
