Listen Later

For thousands of years, a narrow body of water between Arabia and Persia has shaped the fate of empires, economies, and the modern world. 

The Persian Gulf has been a crossroads of trade, a cradle of ancient civilizations, and today, the center of global energy and geopolitical tension. 

Control over its waters has sparked conflict, diplomacy, and immense wealth.

Learn more about the Persian Gulf and its history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
