In this LifeZette article, staff writers detail Glenn Beck’s analysis that a series of Gulf pipeline projects could serve as Trump’s masterstroke by permanently stripping Iran of its ability to choke global oil markets and making both the Iranian regime and the global elites who depend on that leverage irrelevant.
- Beck argues the real strategic prize is not Iran’s nuclear program or drones but the permanent expiration of Tehran’s veto over the world economy through control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- An east-west pipeline capable of moving 1.5 million barrels a day is expected to come online by early 2027, while Saudi Arabia is weighing a 2-million-barrel expansion to the Red Sea.
- Iraq is back at the table on a Mediterranean corridor through Turkey, and Goldman Sachs counts seven separate projects that could raise total Gulf pipeline capacity above 14 million barrels a day by 2028.
- Once completed, more than 60 percent of the oil previously exported by seven Gulf states would move through routes Iran cannot touch with speedboats or mines.
- Beck compares the strategy to the historical Sound Dues that Denmark collected for centuries by controlling both sides of the entrance to the Baltic Sea, a toll that provided up to a third of the Danish crown’s income until the United States refused to pay and forced the Copenhagen Convention.
- He notes that Germany later built the Kiel Canal for the same reason: to make a strategic choke point optional rather than remain permanently vulnerable to future tolls or blockades.
- While acknowledging that Iran’s nuclear ambitions and drone production are real threats, Beck insists the focus on those issues is partly misdirection from the far more consequential infrastructure campaign now underway.
- The ultimate goal, he concludes, is to keep oil flowing during any conflict while simultaneously ending the only asset that ever made a broke, isolated theocracy a power the world had to consult.
