⚡ Saudi Arabia Saw the Strait of Hormuz Risk 45 Years Ago

Back in 1981, Saudi Arabia built the East–West Pipeline, stretching about 1,200 km from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.

Its purpose: export oil without relying on the Strait of Hormuz.

Today that decision looks brilliant. The pipeline can transport around 7 million barrels per day, letting Saudi oil bypass Hormuz if tensions rise, including threats from Iran.

A quiet Cold War investment has become a major global energy security advantage. 🌍⛽
