00:00Le Strait d'Ormus, bordé d'Iran à l'intérieur et Manau à l'intérieur,
00:11c'est une longue longue longue, 50 km à l'intérieur de l'Odum et un peu plus loin de l'Arabie.
00:19Certains major oil-producing countries are located in the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia,
00:28the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Iran.
00:35Together, they transport 20 million barrels of oil per day via this strategic route,
00:41or around 20% of the world's supply.
00:47Their main customers include China, India, South Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States.
00:59The Ormus Strait is also the transit point for 20% of liquefied natural gas, LNG,
01:05produced mainly by Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
01:10In addition to these commercial issues, several countries in the region have volatile strategic relations.
01:16Iran and Saudi Arabia vive for leadership in the Arabian Peninsula.
01:25There is also a major rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Qatar,
01:28which disagree on many foreign policy issues.
01:34Finally, there is a conflict between Iran, which borders the Strait of Hormus, and the United States.
01:46Washington has military bases in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iraq, and Oman,
01:53as well as warships operating in the region's seas.
01:59From these different locations, the United States has conducted all of its recent military interventions in the region,
02:05particularly in Iraq and Syria.
02:11In addition, it supports Israel in its own clashes with Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the US in Yemen.
02:19Three armed groups supported by Iran
02:23Long dependent on oil from this region, the Americans have historically imposed themselves as the policemen of the D3.
02:33To maintain pressure, Iran has developed a strategy consisting of threatening to block it by undermining the passage at the risk of jeopardizing the entire global economy.
02:54To reduce its dependence on this Iranian obstacle, several Persian Gulf countries have begun building oil pipelines to provide alternative routes since 2024.
03:03The United States has massively increased its energy production on its own soil and only 7% of its crude oil consumption passes through the Hormus Strait.
03:19When the United States bombed Iran alongside Israel in the June 2025 war, Terran threatened.
03:26But it no longer worked.
03:29China, which buys half of Iran's production, would not accept such a blockade.
03:40More than Washington, it is Beijing, an increasingly essential customer and partner, that is becoming the main interlocutor of the countries in the region.
03:48Faced with the United States, Beijing intends to be the new sheriff of the region.
