Nearly 45 years ago, Saudi Arabia quietly made one of the smartest long-term energy decisions in modern history. Anticipating the risks around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the kingdom built a 1,200-kilometer pipeline linking the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea a backup route designed for a worst-case scenario most people thought would never happen. Today, that foresight looks nothing short of brilliant. With tensions rising in the region and shipping routes under pressure, the Strait of Hormuz responsible for nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply — has become one of the most fragile points in the global energy system. Tankers face delays, insurance costs are skyrocketing, and uncertainty is spreading across markets. Yet Saudi Arabia holds a critical advantage: its oil can bypass the danger completely and flow safely to Red Sea ports. While many nations remain fully dependent on that narrow waterway, Saudi planners prepared decades ahead of time. What once seemed like paranoia has become a powerful safeguard a reminder that in geopolitics and energy security, the nations that prepare early shape the future while others scramble to react.
