The Storm of Hormuz, which stretches between Oman and Iran, is the most important shipping lane in the world. It is a major strait of West Asia, which separates the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of Oman in the south of Iran. To its south are the UAE and Oman's Musandam enclaves. From the point of view of oil exports, this strait is very important, because oil exports to countries like Iraq, Qatar and Iran are from here. At its widest place, it has a distance of 39 km on both its banks. It separates the country of Iran from the country of Oman. After the death of Suleimani, the government of the right-wing President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has said that he has supported President Donald Trump in the US front against terrorism. On this, Iran has summoned the Brazilian in-charge in Tehran, giving its response.
