Qeshm Island sits just miles from the world's most vital oil chokepoint.
The Strait of Hormuz, near Qeshm, is only ~21 miles wide at its narrowest point. Roughly 20% of global oil supply — about 17 million barrels per day — passes through it, making the region critical to world energy markets.
The UAE built a $3B pipeline specifically to bypass the Strait of Hormuz!
Completed in 2012, the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline runs 230 miles to Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, carrying up to 1.5M barrels/day — bypassing Iran's ability to choke off Gulf oil exports.
