Is Cislunar Space the Next Strategic Hotspot?

The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz may have a counterpart in cislunar space, the area situated between Earth and the Moon. Experts warn that as humanity continues to expand its footprint in space, this region could become a focal point for military conflicts.

With increasing interest in lunar resources and exploration, the potential for disputes over access and control in cislunar space could mirror current terrestrial conflicts. This emerging perspective highlights the necessity for governance and cooperation in space, emphasizing that the Moon could soon be as strategically significant as key locations on Earth.
