Israel-Iran conflict: What is the Strait of Hormuz? Why is it so important for oil?

[Editor's Note: Follow our live blog for real-time updates on the latest developments in the Israel-Iran conflict.] Iran's top security body must make the final decision on whether to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian TV said on Sunday, after parliament reportedly backed the measure in response to US strikes on several of Tehran's nuclear sites. Iran has in the past threatened to close the strait but has never followed through on the move, which would restrict trade and impact global oil prices. Below are details about the strait: What is the Strait of Hormuz? The strait lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond. It is 21 miles (33 km) wide at its narrowest point, with the shipping lane just 2 miles (3 km) wide in either direction. Why does it matter? About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait. Between the start of 2022 and last month, somewhere between 17.8 million and 20.8 million barrels of crude, condensate and fuels flowed through the strait daily, data from analytics firm Vortexa showed. OPEC members Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq export most of their crude via the strait, mainly to Asia. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have sought to find other routes to bypass the strait. About 2.6 million barrels per day (bpd) of unused capacity from existing UAE and Saudi pipelines could be available to bypass Hormuz, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in June last year. Qatar, among the world's biggest liquefied natural gas exporters, sends almost all of its LNG through the strait. The U.S. Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, is tasked with protecting commercial shipping in the area. History of tensions In 1973, Arab producers led by Saudi Arabia slapped an oil embargo on Western supporters of Israel in its war with Egypt. While Western countries were the main buyers of crude produced by the Arab countries at the time, nowadays Asia is the main buyer of OPEC's crude. The U.S. more than doubled its oil liquids production in the last two decades and has turned from the world's biggest oil importer into one of the top exporters. During the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War, the two sides sought to disrupt each other's exports in what was called the Tanker War. In July 1988, a U.S. warship shot down an Iranian airliner, killing all 290 aboard, in what Washington said was an accident and Tehran said was a deliberate attack. In January 2012, Iran threatened to block the strait in retaliation for U.S. and European sanctions. In May 2019, four vessels - including two Saudi oil tankers - were attacked off the UAE coast, outside the Strait of Hormuz. Three vessels, two in 2023 and one in 2024, were seized by Iran near or in the Strait of Hormuz. Some of the seizures followed U.S. seizures of tankers related to Iran.

ArabyAds Elevates MENA Marketing by Winning Snapchat Advanced Partner Badge

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai ArabyAds has secured the prestigious Snapchat Advanced Partner badge, marking a significant milestone that positions the UAE-based ad-tech firm at the forefront of digital innovation across the Middle East and North Africa. The designation grants the company exclusive access to Snapchat's latest tools, data analytics, and strategic support, enabling clients and creators in the region to harness full‑funnel campaign opportunities on the platform. This recognition underlines ArabyAds' deliberate investment in human capital and know‑how, rather than simply technical capability. As part of the Snapchat Advanced Partner programme, the company gains access to private training sessions, expert enablement, account‑management backing and early‑stage features like Snap's Creator Discovery API and Snap Creator Marketplace Beta. The badge also comes with visibility and credibility as Snapchat builds its ecosystem through trusted agency partnerships. ADVERTISEMENT ArabyAds Vice‑President of Digital, Ayah Reyad, emphasised that working with Snapchat has been instrumental in expanding market share and inspiring creativity, and that the advanced partner status will deepen relationships with clients and unlock new possibilities in digital storytelling. The move adds another layer to ArabyAds' portfolio of regional achievements, which include being named Marketing Platform of the Year 2023 by MMA Smarties MENA and the prior launch of their AI‑powered Household Graph for cross‑platform audience reach. Snapchat states that over 67% of users follow creators to see real, everyday moments, underlining the emphasis on authentic connection. The platform reports that 97% of users are open to brand‑sponsored creator content, and 59% have made purchases following exposure to such campaigns. This context sets the stage for ArabyAds to broker more effective creator partnerships on behalf of brands, using bespoke targeting informed by data and platform insight. The Advanced Partner badge places ArabyAds among an elite selection of regional agencies, including Publicis Groupe‑Content Practice, Creo, InHype and The Goat Agency MENA. Snap's pilot cohort benefits from direct collaboration opportunities with Snapchat teams, hands‑on enablement events and tailored access to analytics and certification from Snap Focus. A Partner Enablement Day in Dubai offered immediate immersion into platform tools and strategic best practice, reinforcing the parent company's goal to build a vibrant creator economy across the MENA region. Senior figures from other agencies in the cohort echoed Snap's confidence in ArabyAds. Timothée Desormeaux, Managing Partner and Co‑founder of Acquisit, noted that Snap values their data‑driven and measurement‑focused approach, which has helped solve complex client challenges in the region. Snap's head of agency relations in the region, Rasha El‑Ghoussaini, described the partner initiative as part of a broader strategy to support agencies amid rapid transformation across digital markets. For ArabyAds' clients, the benefits are multifaceted. The Creator Discovery API enables mapping and analysis of over 100,000 MENA creators, enabling data‑led influencer alignment. End‑to‑end ROI tracking, combined with advancement in AR and creative strategy, allows brands to build measurable campaigns that drive deeper engagement and conversions. ArabyAds is now well placed to offer clients a full‑stack solution on Snapchat: from creator identification and certification through Snap Focus, to influencer campaign activation using the Creator Marketplace, and ongoing optimisation via account management and platform insights. The firm's trajectory signals intention not only to maintain growth, but to shape what high‑impact creator collaboration looks like in the region.
