Trump Backs Syrian Oil Route to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump has endorsed a new $5.7 billion oil pipeline corridor through Syria, designed to provide an alternative route to the volatile Strait of Hormuz.

The project aims to allow Iraqi oil exports to reach global markets without passing through the Iranian-controlled strait, which has seen increased military tensions.

Syria is positioning itself as a key Middle East energy hub, offering a strategic bypass that could significantly alter regional oil transit dynamics.
