U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iran to “get smart” and warned that the strategic Strait of Hormuz could become far less important as new oil pipelines and alternative routes are developed across the Middle East. Trump said China, which he described as having limited involvement in the conflict, gets a major share of its oil through Hormuz, but argued that pipelines and trucking routes through Syria are creating alternatives to the strait. Trump said Iran could ultimately face a Hormuz that is “not very necessary anymore” if these routes expand.
