Iran announces meeting with Oman and Gulf countries on oil routes in Hormuz

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 23:52

Iran announced a meeting with Oman and Gulf countries to discuss oil routes in the Strait of Hormuz. The encounter comes in a context of regional tensions in the area.

Tehran currently controls, directly or indirectly, the maritime routes through which 40% of world oil passes. This strategic position gives the country significant power over international crude traffic.

Should Iran impose authority over the Strait of Hormuz, Yemeni Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, simultaneously control the Bab al-Mandab Strait, another crucial route for oil transport.

Why this matters

The meeting between Iran, Oman and Gulf countries on Hormuz directly affects global energy security and oil prices, with impact on fuel costs for consumers in the region. Iranian control over these strategic maritime routes can alter trade and security dynamics in the Middle East, with immediate economic consequences for crude importers.

From Afonso de Albuquerque to the Houthis, the 'game changer' has always been the Red Sea!

The article draws a historical parallel between Afonso de Albuquerque's conquest at the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb in 1507 and the current Houthi domination over the western coast of Yemen, along the Red Sea, from Midi to Bab el-Mandeb, a stretch of approximately 600 kilometres. The author uses the analogy of "a Portugal" to describe the territorial extent controlled by the Houthis and argues that control of this strategic maritime corridor has always been a "game changer" in regional geopolitics, comparing the historical importance of the Portuguese conquest with the current navigation challenges in the Red Sea.
