美國總統特朗普：希望以色列做出明智的判斷。

The UAE is advancing a plan to eliminate reliance on the Strait of Hormuz for energy exports, Minister of State for Foreign Trade Sani Al Zeyoudi said. The country has been routing some crude via existing pipelines to east-coast ports and, in recent weeks, some tankers have transited the Strait with AIS transponders switched off. The program centers on major expansion of Gulf of Oman ports outside the Strait — Diba, Fujairah and Khorfakkan — plus at least one new port on the same coast, large-scale investment in new pipelines and upgraded rail and road links to connect eastern ports with the country’s oil and gas fields and facilities. Abu Dhabi is accelerating a second oil export pipeline that would double Fujairah’s export capacity, is studying a third pipeline, and is exploring additional infrastructure for petrochemicals, LNG and other energy exports.
