The original framing omits the historical context of the Strait of Hormuz as a critical waterway, the impact of colonialism and imperialism on regional dynamics, and the perspectives of local communities, including the indigenous peoples of the region. It also neglects the role of international institutions, such as the United Nations, in managing regional conflicts and promoting cooperation.
