US-Israel war on Iran raises fears of Strait of Hormuz escalation: Analysis

Tensions in the US-Iran war are raising concerns about a dangerous escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route. Analysts say Iran could attempt to block the strait using naval mines or other military tactics, a move that could disrupt global energy supplies and trap dozens of oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. The United States, however, may face challenges clearing mines after reducing its minesweeping capabilities in the region. Al Jazeera discusses the latest developments with Jason Campbell, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute and former civilian Pentagon official, and Naveed Shah, political director of Common Defence and former board member of the Virginia War Memorial.
