[@jeremiahkerry]

I have passed through Hormuz several times and watched the shipping from Oman and Iran from their vantage points. The North Oman port of Khasab is expanding to transport goods from UAE to Iran. The coastal road on the Oman West Coast must be the 8th wonder of the world..

[@bourgeoise2]

Excellent video. I sailed from Abu Dhabi to Muscat, Oman last month. We went through the Strait of Hormuz. Very interesting journey and to know that the waterway is so important to the world's oil needs made the journey even more meaningful.

[@Jurica_Ruic]

I have sailed through Hormuz and Malacca straits many times. If you can imagine traffic during the rush hours in the biggest cities, thats how is looks like to sail through those straits. Many many ships of various types and sizes. Hormuz is so important and it won't be closed till the last drop of oil. That's what i think. Cheers

[@skiprussell2606]

I'm a retired Merchant Marine and have spent years in the Gulf and there is no way it compares to rush hour traffic, that's apples and oranges and a gross exaggeration.

Unless they have changed International Maratime Law: since the Strait is bordered by several nations then it cannot be blocked.

Right, I wish he would've pointed that out. As it was, he basically just said here's where the straight is, and it is very important, I was waiting to hear about maritime law.

[@darth3911]

Of course for every actions there's payback and inland Saudi may be lower than the Ocean or the motion of the waves could begin to eat away Saudi.
