The Strait of Hormuz is the only connection between the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, which is a section of the larger Indian Ocean. Oil from much of the Middle East is transported by ships which start out in the Persian Gulf. Thus, about 35% of the world's oil that is transported by sea and 20% of the oil produced each year must pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
