European countries are planning to form a major coalition to ensure the normal operation of maritime traffic through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz without relying on the United States. According to The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials, the plan will be implemented after the current conflict ends.
The report notes that Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states are deeply anxious amid escalating threats between U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran, as their economies depend heavily on oil exports through the strait. Meanwhile, Qatar has announced the lifting of all maritime restrictions, and Saudi Arabia has activated its east-west pipeline at full capacity to bypass Hormuz entirely.
Saudi Arabia’s pipeline can transport about seven million barrels of oil per day, and the Manifa oil field on its southeastern coast is ready to supply an additional 300,000 barrels daily. These measures reflect the Gulf states’ growing reliance on alternative routes and strategies to sustain their economies during the ongoing crisis.
