The Straits of Tiran are the narrow sea passages between the Sinai and Arabian peninsulas that connect the Gulf of Aqaba to the Red Sea, with the two peninsulas about 13 kilometers apart. The Multinational Force and Observers monitors Egypt's compliance in maintaining freedom of navigation through the straits, as provided under the Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
