It now appears that ‘peace’ in Iran and restarting normal traffic through the strait is weeks /months away
So where do we ( plus the EU ) get oil to survive ?
Is it THAT critical ?? We don’t appear to panicking with rationing etc yet.
The longer the strait is closed the more cost effective / likely do overland pipelines become.
Iran had better be careful it doesn’t hold all the cards !
Question : how quickly can pipelines be built in an emergency which this now is ?
