Moritz Brake warns against underestimating the situation in the Strait of Hormuz: Iran could continue to inflict significant damage despite military attacks, for example through missiles, drones, or sea mines. He emphasizes that even a small number of mines could be enough to effectively paralyze this vital trade route and severely disrupt global oil trade. Furthermore, Brake considers a quick military solution unrealistic because securing the strait permanently would be extremely difficult. In his view, absolute security cannot be achieved there.
