The $900B Race to Bypass the Strait of Hormuz

There are some pipelines that go around the Strait of Hormuz, but they, and the ports they lead to, can’t handle the same load as the Strait. New projects to go around the Strait have been discussed, but are very expensive, while the Strait blockage will likely be temporary.

US is Running Out of Ammo Against Iran

The US, Gulf states, and Israel are quickly running out of missile and drone interceptors.

The US also used over 25% of their long-range Tomahawks, possibly 45% of their JASSMs, and over 25% of their ATACMS.

By mid-May, the US could be out of many of these weapons.

The US has failed to build sufficient manufacturing capability. It will take many years to replace these munitions.

The US will have to use dumber bombs and take more hits on the defense if the war goes on.
