The South Korean government politely replied it would โreviewโ the American proposal. The event crystallized a major paradox of the ongoing conflict: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the worst maritime crisis in decades, is fundamentally an Asian problem, yet Asia is almost entirely absent from the debate over how to resolve it.In fact, not only are Asian countries greatly suffering from the Hormuz The post The Missing Navies: The Hormuz Crisis and the Limits of Americaโs Indo-Pacific Partnerships appeared first on War on the Rocks.
