US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplayed the importance of the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. He said that this waterway, which was controlled by Iran during the recent conflict and is critical to the transportation of energy in the Persian Gulf, will soon be circumvented by the oil pipeline. “It will be circumvented within two years,” Bezent said during a conversation with Larry Kudlow during a global finance ministers meeting in Asheville, North Carolina. “In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be like a worthless body of water.”
