Damascus and the Hormuz Routes
The article discusses the "Alternative Routes" project unveiled by U.S. Special Envoy to Syria and Iraq, Tom Brack. The project aims to establish a stable transit country in Syria rather than leaving it part of the ongoing conflict, by developing an oil and gas transportation network that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. It seeks to rehabilitate Syrian infrastructure to boost economic and political returns, enhance regional stability, and foster distinctive relationships with Iraq and Gulf countries, with the goal of reducing global dependence on the Strait of Hormuz by 2035. The project also connects several strategic pathways, such as the Kirkuk-Baniyas pipeline and gas routes, positioning itself as a strategic option for Gulf countries and Iran. It is expected to contribute to improving Syria’s economic and political situation and to reduce security costs associated with undermining its stability.
