STRAIT OF HORMUZ CRISIS SIMULATOR

CENTCOM OPERATIONAL BRIEF — CLASSIFIED

The Strait of Hormuz. 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. 20% of the world's oil supply passes through it every day. Iran has threatened to close it.

Iran does not need to win a naval battle. They need only make the strait too dangerous to transit. Mines, coastal missiles, fast boat swarms — asymmetric warfare at its most effective.

Your mission: Keep the strait open. Degrade Iranian strike capability. Do not let them mine the chokepoint.
