US Tries to Diversify Oil Supply through Alternative Pipelines

The US government is exploring ways to reduce global oil dependence on the Strait of Hormuz by developing alternative pipeline routes.

Chevron, a major energy company, is involved in studying a pipeline connecting Iraq's oil network to Syria's Mediterranean coast.

This strategy aims to bypass the strait and create a network of pipelines, reducing military burdens and Iran's leverage over global oil supply.

Pipelines face risks, but they offer a more permanent solution compared to military protection of the strait.
