<![CDATA[The current research aims to uncover the geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and their impact on global energy security and the stability of international supply chains through analysing the relevant tensions. The research is based on the current situation strategy, which positions the strait as one of the most important maritime routes for transporting oil and natural gas from Gulf countries to global markets, emphasising the importance of the study in light of increasing security and political challenges related to the strait and the potential risks it poses to energy flows and international trade. The research relies on the descriptive analytical method, through studying literature and international reports related to the Strait of Hormuz, analysing the nature of its tensions, the resulting regional conflicts and compeTheion among international powers, in addition to maritime security threats that may affect freedom of navigation. The current study concluded that any escalation in the Strait region directly affects global energy markets through rising oil and gas prices, higher transportation and insurance costs, leading to disruption of international supply chains, trade delays, and increased production costs across many economic sectors. The results also showed that energy-importing countries, particularly Asian economies, play a significant role in disrupting navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, as confirmed by the study. The study emphasises that enhancing international cooperation in maritime security, diversifying energy sources, developing alternative transport routes, and increasing reliance on renewable energy sources are essential to mitigating risks associated with geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, strengthening the global economy's resilience to future crises, and maintaining stability in energy markets and international trade.]]>
