They serve as vital chokepoints where a significant volume of maritime traffic passes, making them essential for the movement of goods and energy resources. Other strategic areas include the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and the Malacca Strait, a key passage between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
