You got me thinking, such a canal could easily be disrupted. Hell, Hormuz is only 26km at the thinnest point and Iran can dominate the whole strait. Picture a bomb hitting the Panama Canal.

    I mean yeah, all fixed, exposed surface infrastucture is generally quite fragile.

    Wanna start a forever war with China?

    Blow up the Three Gorges Dam, you'll kill like 10 million people, minimum.

    But uh yeah, if Iran can figure out some kind of way to stealthily lay out naval mines ... yeah that ain't great.

    Or they could aim for the existing oil pipelines meant to avoid the Hormuz bottleneck.

    Or maybe aim at the Saudi/UAE/Dubai's mega vanity projects, just to fuck with their investments and ego.
