US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has predicted that the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil chokepoint, will become 'worthless' within two years as alternative routes bypass it. He stated that Iran's attempts to use the strait as a pressure point will be futile due to the expansion of oil pipeline dependence. This prediction comes amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran in the region.
