In the Sada Al-Mashreq section, we focus on the dilemma of the Strait of Hormuz. Nearly two months after its closure, it appears that the blockade and counter-blockade will last longer based on Trump's statements, the Revolutionary Guard's threats, and a Wall Street Journal report on new orders to prepare for a longer blockade. There is no diplomatic breakthrough, and the paralysis of navigation exacerbates the supply shock. What are the alternatives to this strategic corridor through which twenty percent of the world’s oil used to pass? How did the need to diversify energy supply routes open competition between Türkiye, Israel and Egypt to trade petroleum products across the Mediterranean coast to Europe? Which of these projects is feasible and successful? To answer the questions, we host professor and researcher in defense and energy economics, Nasima Wahab Al-Athamneh.
