About this printable The Strait of Hormuz: A Vital Waterway reading passage (Grade 4)
The Strait of Hormuz is a strategically vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Bordered by Iran to the north and the Musandam Peninsula (Oman) to the south, it serves as the primary exit point for oil and gas produced in the Middle East. Despite its narrow width—measuring only 21 miles (34 kilometers) at its narrowest point—it is the lifeline of the global energy market.
