🎞 How feasible is it to bypass the Strait of Hormuz? ▪️ Some say that if we severely block the Strait of Hormuz, some countries will bypass it. What does it mean to bypass the Strait of Hormuz? It means, for example, expanding routes like Fujairah in the UAE and Yanbu in Saudi Arabia, and exporting the oil that comes out of the Strait through those routes, over land, via the UAE and Saudi Arabia; which is currently very limited. ▪️ 20 million barrels of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The capacity of the pipelines that are meant to bypass the Strait is a maximum of 7 million barrels. If the transportation capacity is to reach this level, at least according to forecasts, it will take 5 years. 🎤 Amir Hossein Taghipour, Economic Desk Manager of Tasnim War Interpretative Group War Interpretation
