Iraq and Syria signed a deal on Friday to rebuild an alternative oil pipeline in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi will visit the United States this week. He met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
米国エネルギー情報局によると、このパイプラインはイラク北部のキルクークからシリアの地中海沿岸まで伸びており、銘板の生産能力は日量70万バレルだという。 It has been closed since it was damaged during the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
Several Gulf countries want to expand pipeline capacity to reduce their dependence on Hormuz.アラブ首長国連邦は、オマーン湾のフジャイラ港への2本目のパイプラインを建設中で、これにより海峡外の輸出能力が2倍になる。
