With the Strait of Hormuz in a chokehold due to Iran-U.S. hostilities, Oman has pitched investment opportunities in Sohar Port to India that could provide uninterrupted access to energy resources from the Persian Gulf.

It is one of the largest and most strategically located deep-sea ports in the Middle East.
