Energy routes shift from Hormuz to Mediterranean
The article discusses the United States' recent efforts to redraw the energy landscape in the region through projects that transport oil while avoiding the Strait of Hormuz. It highlights the Kirkuk-Banyas pipeline project, which represents a strategic shift in regional energy routes. Although agreements have been signed between Syria and Iraq to reactivate this pipeline, Lebanon remains outside this initiative, despite having historical infrastructure extending along the Kirkuk-Trabulus line. Lebanon's absence from the project is attributed to delays in making political decisions, insufficient Lebanese initiative, internal factors, and security considerations. However, experts emphasize that the project offers significant economic opportunities to boost production and exports. Its success, nonetheless, hinges on internal reforms and accelerated political processes. The United States plays a key role in guiding energy projects, and the article suggests that Lebanon still has the potential to join in the future. With appropriate reforms and political changes, the pipeline could potentially return to its historical course.
