The Israeli who visited the Strait of Hormuz: On one hand it's a war zone. On the other - there's plenty of beauty
The Haredi Israeli journalist Yitzchak Horowitz described his visit to the Strait of Hormuz, a region of tension between the US and Iran. In an interview, he depicted a sharp contrast between breathtaking landscapes and dolphins versus warships and stranded tankers. He noted that the local residents, former fishermen who lived off tourism, continue their daily routine, but the tension is ever-present. Horowitz reached the area via Oman and observed smuggling between Iran and Oman.
The Haredi Israeli journalist Yitzchak Horowitz visited the Strait of Hormuz, a region of security tension between the United States and Iran, and shared his experiences in an interview on the program "In Our Neighborhood" broadcast today (Thursday). Horowitz described a sharp contrast between the beauty of the place and its being a flashpoint: on one hand, stunning landscapes with dolphins and fjords; on the other, warships and stranded tankers. According to him, the local residents, who previously lived off tourism, continue their daily routine as fishermen and goat herders, but the tension is ever-present. Horowitz reached the area via Oman and observed a phenomenon of smuggling between Iran and Oman, noting that the distance between the shores is short (about an hour by boat) and that residents have families on both sides and a unique language combining Arabic and Persian.
