Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that oil and natural gas infrastructure should be constructed to transport Middle Eastern resources across the Arabian Peninsula directly to Israeli ports. This plan aims specifically to bypass Iran's control over critical choke points like Hormuz Strait, which he argues no longer poses a threat due to Tehran's depleted uranium enrichment capacity following recent strikes on its main gas field in Kish Island and Bandar Abbas refinery complex (Mar 20).
