√ The waterway separates Iran and Oman, linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
√ The Strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction.
√ It provides the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean.
√ The UAE and Saudi Arabia have sought to find other routes to bypass the Strait, including building more oil pipelines.
