The Strait of Hormuz — Act 4
from Pulse: Origins
The Prisoner's Strait: Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz every few years and never does — because forty percent of its own government revenue transits the same six miles of water. This act covers the IRGC swarm-boat doctrine, why Lloyd's of London actuarial tables are a more effective weapon than missiles, and China's structural exposure to Hormuz: an industrial economy that cannot function without fuel it doesn't control, flowing through a corridor it can't secure — identical to Britain's position in 1914.
