Submission statement: Relevant to both international energy trade, the Iran war and potentially Oman’s future position. Internal divisions emerging in Iran in light of rerouting tankers through Oman and other Gulf States rapidly shifting to pipelines to reduce their reliance on the strait. One assessment sees Saudi, UAE and Iraq dramatically reduce their exports through the strait of Hormuz. This may cause a security dilemma for Iran; reopen the strait to restore financial stability but lose leverage on international energy markets.
