"Crossing the Strait: BBC Journalists Gain Rare Access to Iran's Bandar Abbas For decades, the strategic Strait of Hormuz has been a focal point of international tension, with the US, Iran, and other nations vying for control and influence in the region. Now, the BBC has made history by becoming the first international journalists to visit the Iranian city of Bandar Abbas, a key port on the strait. Located on the southeastern coast of Iran, Bandar Abbas is a major hub for trade and shipping, and a crucial location for Iran's military. As the BBC's team explores this previously off-limits city, they are set to shed light on the lives of ordinary Iranians living on the front lines of global politics."
