Ölengpässe der Welt, über die der Anteil des weltweiten Ölhandels (in Millionen Barrel Öl pro Tag) abgewickelt wird

There is one critical information that should be added to the map: Hormuz is the only checkpoint that has no alternatives if disrupted.

The disruption of any of the others would require lengthy and expensive detours (or moving oil through ground infrastructures, as in the case of Danish straits), but Hormuz has no real alternatives.

I wish Nasser were ruling Egypt and had extended solidarity to Iran by closing the Suez too. Europeans would’ve brokered a peace deal by taking an extra tariff hit from Trump on day 5.

Now you see why the northern routes are so important

Can anyone explain why more oil would transit around the cape of good hope compared to the SUEZ canal ?

Why name the straits when you can just call them Danish. Low effort…

Dire Straits everywhere

I hear Malaysia is developing weapon grade nuclear power…. 👀
