What stops Iran from destroying the canal? A US war with Iran would last what 2 hoursWhat Oman peninsula? Bea lot quicker to nuke nuke nuke IranIt seems that transiting the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be risky for international shipping, at least as long as the current regime in Iran stays in power. What would be the cost and technical difficulty of digging a sea level canal through the Oman peninsula? The obvious benefit would be that it would create a shipping lane farther away from Iran and more defensible against Iranian disruption, especially if a permanent military installation was located nearby.
What do you think of this idea?
It would also have to pass through the UAE.
You'd also only be gaining 40 extra nautical miles distance from Iran while having the expense of cutting a fifty mile long channel.
