from Suez to Hormuz; Graveyard of Dreams of Two Western Powers Analytical website "Chasha" in an article written by one of its researchers, by examining the similarities between the current crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, addressed the question of whether today's developments could also be a sign of a change in the balance of power in the world and limiting the ability of great powers to advance their geopolitical goals.
