Iran Just “LOCKED THE SKY” Over Hormuz IN Just 3 MINUTS — Could U.S. Carriers Be Next Target?LH

To understand why the Strait of Hormuz matters so much, consider the numbers.

Roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through this narrow waterway between Iran and Oman.

Every day, tankers loaded with crude oil squeeze through the channel like giant floating piggy banks carrying the global economy on their decks.

If anything disrupts traffic there, oil prices do not politely rise.

They explode like popcorn in a microwave.

This is why the United States maintains a powerful naval presence in the region, including aircraft carrier strike groups capable of projecting air power across vast distances.

Those carriers are essentially floating airports with missiles attached.

They are designed to dominate the skies in any conflict scenario.
