Is the narrow section, between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Iran is on one side and Oman is on the other. Iran's territory is the northern side - Oman to the south - the boundary is shown on the map. With the islands lying off the tip of Oman, it may make navigation difficult for large tankers, so they are forced to travel in Iran's waters.
