Across the strait, most of the crude exports come from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq, all of which are members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Qatar is the world's largest exporter.
All straits including Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb (as well as the Suez Canal) must be globally and locally respected and protected as they are strategic and critical for all trades, not just oil (despite its high value). It would be a foolish action to block or harm any one of them.
But today we are talking about an international escalation that may lead to disturbances in transportation through these channels. The threats today are very ambiguous, especially in terms of the means that will be used to intervene if, in addition, why is the United States of America Only the world's guardian of sanctions and security, the rest of the world can not form alliances equal to the US power, knowing that the biggest affected by the prevention of supplies that pass through the Strait of Hormuz are the Asian countries, especially China and India, yet the apparent conflict between Iran and America is characterized by a lot of dishonestyWhere a military conflict in that particular region is highly unlikely.
I think you answered the main question of this conversation. Now, you raised a very important question that the United Nations only can answer it. Your new question is, "why is the United States of America Only the world's guardian of sanctions and security, the rest of the world can not form alliances equal to the US power?" As you might know the world is still run by the political (imperial) principle: Divid and Conquer !!!
I think it will be boon to US economy as US is in transitional phase from net importer of oil to net exporter of oil with its new shale oil technology. As it much cheaper for US to produce oil than in any other country.
