Iran war sparks push to transform Syria into global energy corridor
Cikk tartalma röviden
A document from US envoy Tom Barrack proposes making Syria a key transit hub for energy flows, focusing on reviving and expanding pipeline networks to connect Gulf and Iraqi energy fields to Mediterranean ports. President Ahmed al-Sharaa emphasizes Syria's strategic location for energy transport. However, journalist Sarkis Kassarjian expresses skepticism about the feasibility of the plan, citing Syria's lack of infrastructure and stability compared to alternatives. Security and governance issues are significant obstacles, and reconstruction efforts in Syria remain stagnant. Engineer Ghassan al-Rai acknowledges the technical feasibility of the project but highlights the need for financing, security, and political agreements.
