Mapping Iran’s Maritime Frontier: A Journey Along the Strategic Coastline

Spanning an impressive 1,800km (1,120 miles), Iran’s southern shoreline unfolds as a significant maritime thoroughfare, stretching from the Iraqi delta’s wetlands in the west to the rugged Pakistani terrain in the east.
At its core lies the Strait of Hormuz, a critical bottleneck through which 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas is transported.
Dispersed along this coastline are several islands that serve as military strongholds, energy centers, and key power brokers within Iran’s carefully crafted “strategic architecture” of influence.
In this immersive experience, Al Jazeera embarks on a tour of 10 pivotal islands, ports, and energy infrastructure that define the balance of power and commerce in the Gulf region.
