“It is also one of the most important locations in the world for its huge trade activities including the world’s 40 percent of oil transportation because of its proximity to the oil-rich Arabian Peninsula. Due to this, several international powers have been attracted to region in abide to attain their political and economic advantages by establishing military base in the region.”
