Of course Israel wants the world to be more dependent on Israel. Does that suprise anyone? Just a couple days ago Donnie suggested people buying oil from the US if they can’t get it from Hormuz.

There used to be a [pipeline from Kirkuk to Haifa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkuk%E2%80%93Haifa_oil_pipeline?wprov=sfla1). It was built in the 1930s to supply Europe with oil from Iraq. Although still a monumental task, there might be merit in looking into modern day pipeline infrastructure from the Gulf to the coast of Oman.

The issue of this pipeline isn’t actually getting it built, it is actually being able to defend it. This whole Iran situation has shown what happens when you start attacking the world supply of energy…..and it shows other countries what to do if you fight a super power…..literally go kamikaze on vital natural resources like oil refineries and wells. Attack data centers, destroy tourism hotspots like Dubai…etc. It doesn’t matter who or what country.
And the CBC did a really good short form video on explaining how Iran was able to do this. Because of its fractured military by design, even if you „killed the head“, each military branch will act independently but with the same goal, inflicting maximum damage.

Does this even make sense considering Asian countries are the primary buyers of oil from the GCC?

Pipeline, meet Shahed.
This is pointless unless there is a security guarantee.

Pipeline will be a pretty enticing target..

Would this not just be almost impossible to defend?

Wouldn’t this require the Arab countries to recognize Israel as a legitimate country? If I recall correctly the only one that does is UAE.

Let’s be clear and however unpalatable it might sound. The only real long term solution is to negotiate with Iran, drop all sanctions and bring them back into the world economic fold. Unless you really plan to wipe out 90 million people.

Even though relations between Israel and *some* Arab countries is warming I can’t see a collection of Arab states funding a multi-billion dollar project to build a pipeline through Israel.
Relations can change quickly and Israel would have not problem holding it hostage.

Via Haifa, that sounds safe and reliable.

Making a giant target for drones and missiles…

That must be an idea from Haifa Post….

This makes no sense. The huge quantity of oil means trains would never work. Also, no way oil will be going through Israel, especially when it would go through Lebanon or Syria.
Seems like quasi fake news n

Basically doing what israel wants.
Pipe dreams…
Wouldn’t Iran just strike the pipeline?
How long with that take to build?
Can’t they just bulldoze a canal through Dubai?
