The Saudis control the east-west line from end to end. There are two choke points at the ends of the Red Sea, but two different players control them. If I were any other power in the area, I would never trust the Israelis to not turn hostile.
Why would they turn "hostile"? Eliminating Iran from the global oil market and pumping Saudi oil through Haifa or something is totally in Israel's interest.
His nibs brags about that daily. Just keep in mind, for each of those tankers to load, they need to outbid USians for that US produced oil.
Or we're seeing a permanent realignment in global energy movement. Which would be a good thing.
Again, the problem with having a nuclear option is that when you use it, you don't have it. Iran played their only card and now they have nothing. It's amazing how many people missed that.
