Since 1979, the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz have become a stage for global tension. This book chronicles four decades of maritime crises—from the Iran-Iraq War and the tanker conflicts of the 1980s to modern drone strikes and shadow wars between powers. Through declassified documents, eyewitness accounts, and geopolitical analysis, it traces how oil routes turned into frontlines where economics, ideology, and strategy collide. More than a history of clashes, it examines how technology, diplomacy, and risk management have reshaped seaborne security in one of the world's most vital yet fragile arteries of trade.
