جزیره

تنگه هرمز (tange-ye Hormoz), the Strait of Hormuz, sits at the mouth of the Persian Gulf and is the single most strategically watched waterway on the planet. Roughly a fifth of all globally traded oil passes through it. When Iranian news mentions جزیره هرمز in a political context, it is usually shorthand for that geopolitical pressure point: who controls the strait, who patrols it, who threatens to close it.
