Till now Iran was planning to collect toll from Hormuz and earn big money. But Trump, who calls himself the biggest protector of Hormuz, has also set out on the same path. Trump first announced the collection of fees in Hormuz and then took a U-turn and extended it to investment agreements. The words may have changed but the meaning remains that America also wants huge profits in the name of providing security in Hormuz.
It is being said that America and Israel have planned to control the world oil business and make huge profits. Iran war is a part of that plan. Trump, who calls himself the biggest protector of Hormuz, has now himself taken the initiative to put the world in a new crisis through this area. First he announced to collect fees from every ship and every tanker and then when there was opposition, Trump started talking about investment. First of all, know the update of Trump’s fee collection plan from Hormuz.
Trump wrote on ‘Truth Social’ that based on very fruitful conversations with the leaders of the Middle East, I have decided to replace America’s 20% reimbursement fee with trade and investment agreements. Gulf countries will invest with America. These agreements will be extremely beneficial for the Middle Eastern countries and their future. Be it fees or investment, only America is going to benefit. It is also certain that all the oil trading countries may have to suffer losses or the price of oil may have to increase.
Iran threatened America
The Iranian Army has announced that as long as the war with America continues, not a single drop of oil or gas will be exported from this area. These attacks will only delay the reopening of Hormuz. Iran has closed Hormuz and once again the number of tankers and cargo ships from Hormuz is decreasing very rapidly. Tankers leaving UAE are also switching off radars and transponders. It is clear from this that now the pressure not only to escape from Iran but also to escape from the eyes of America will increase.
Because a missile attack can occur as soon as Iran comes into sight. On the other hand, if America comes into view, accounts can be written in the new American ledger related to Hormuz. So that figures can be shown in investment agreements. Trump has now also started discussing the options for Hormuz. Trump said that a lot has happened in the last few months. Pipelines are being built. “We are coming up with great options, including Texas and Alaska.” First let us show you why Trump has mentioned Texas and Alaska and then we will also tell you what is going on in Trump’s mind.
Trump prepared a plan to increase oil exports
Trump has made complete planning to increase oil exports from America. That’s why he has discussed Texas, where large reserves of oil are present in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford. This is America’s largest oil reserve. Every day 58 lakh barrels of oil are produced here. This accounts for 42% of America’s total oil production.
America’s oil reserves extend to New Mexico. Now the second largest oil destination in America is North Slope of Alaska. 4 lakh 22 thousand barrels of oil are produced here every day. Now two new projects have been started here. Projects are going on in Alaska by the names of Nuna and Pikka. Oil production was increased by 13% from the new project. There is an 800 KM long Trans Alaska pipeline in Alaska which supplies oil.
Target of 142 lakh barrels every day
Experts believe that America now wants to take its oil business to new heights and it is believed that creating a new crisis in Hormuz could be a part of the same plan. These days a campaign to increase oil production is going on in America. Modern hydraulic fracturing technology is being used in Texas and New Mexico, through which the production of crude oil is being increased. American oil companies are drilling new wells in view of the global supply-demand imbalance. America’s oil production is targeted to increase to 142 lakh barrels per day in 2027.
Has America already found an alternative to Hormuz?
America is finding new buyers for itself by economically hurting the oil trade of rivals like Russia. A campaign to destroy Russia’s oil production is also being run through Ukraine. America has already explored the option of Hormuz to control the oil trade. Oil export capacity from the Gulf coast is being upgraded so that liquefied natural gas and crude oil can be shipped faster to markets in Europe and Asia. With this, America is trying to change the center of oil supply. There is a plan to make Israel the biggest oil center. In future, oil trade in the world will happen only through Israel.
At present, oil export from Gulf countries is stopped and alternative routes are being developed. At present many small and big oil pipelines are active and the possible model of the future could be something like this map. UAE’s ADCOP pipeline can be connected to Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline. Apart from this, Qatar can also be connected to Saudi Arabia’s pipeline.
Preparation for oil trade through Israel
This will mean that these oil and gas exporting countries will have direct connection with Yanbu Port of Saudi Arabia, which is the gateway to the Red Sea. Now oil and gas will leave from here via tankers. These will not reach Israel’s Eilat Port via the Suez Canal but via the Gulf of Aqaba. Israel’s Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline will be used from here. Which is already delivering 12 lakh million barrels of oil to the Mediterranean Sea every day. Through this pipeline, oil from Gulf countries will reach the Mediterranean Sea. This will be a faster, cheaper and safer route than the Suez Canal.
Iran continues to put pressure on America through Houthi
Along with closing Hormuz, Iran has also increased tension at the entry point of the Red Sea. Houthi attacks have started here. It is believed that Houthi has opened its front on the behest of Iran and now Iran will try to increase pressure on America through Houthi. It is believed that the war was started with the aim of stopping Iran’s nuclear mission. But now it has shifted from oil business to big profits. The picture is clear that on one hand Trump wants to make America a big oil seller and on the other hand he will try to control the entire oil supply system through Israel.
