The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz may gradually decline as Gulf states expand alternative energy export routes, including pipelines bypassing the waterway.

According to recent remarks attributed to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, investments in overland infrastructure could reduce the global market’s dependence on the Strait over the coming years.

However, Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important energy corridors, carrying a significant share of global oil and LNG trade.
