Indian Ocean Geopolitics,
Abstract
A strong deterrent and stability in the Indian Ocean is the obscure island of Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It sits astride all of the oil lanes to and from the Persian Gulf, the major source of oil. Diego Gracia is now a small naval communication facility ideally located to permit the United States to keep its eye on developments and to add some measure of stabilizing presence in the area.
