UAE Ready To Bypass Strait of Hormuz; Alternate Pipeline To Complete by 2027 | Iran VOWS to Bomb?

The United Arab Emirates is accelerating construction of a massive new oil pipeline designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with Iran continue to shake global energy markets. ADNOC confirmed the strategic West-East pipeline project is already nearly 50% complete and aims to dramatically expand UAE oil exports through Fujairah outside Hormuz. The move comes after repeated shipping disruptions, military threats and rising instability in the Gulf following regional conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Analysts say the pipeline could reshape global oil logistics, weaken Iran’s leverage over world energy supplies and transform the geopolitical balance of the Middle East.
