US-backed pipeline proposal targets global reliance on Strait of Hormuz amid Iran threats
US launches Project Freedom in Strait of Hormuz amid escalating Iran tensions
Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer announce the US initiative ‘Project Freedom’ to ensure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump issues a stern warning to Iran against any interference with shipping lanes. Bryan Llenas reports from Tel Aviv on recent drone attacks attributed to Iran by the UAE, and South Korea’s investigation into a vessel attack in the volatile region.

A new U.S.-backed proposal to build a network of overland energy pipelines bypassing the Strait of Hormuz is gaining attention as tensions in the region expose a critical vulnerability in the global energy system.
A policy memo reviewed by Fox News Digital outlines the concept, known as «ARAM Express,» a proposed consortium between the United States and Gulf partners to develop a multidirectional overland network for oil, gas and petrochemicals, originating with Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
The plan envisions pipelines extending westward to the Red Sea and Mediterranean, as well as southern routes toward the Arabian Sea, creating multiple export pathways that would reduce reliance on the strait, through which roughly one-third of the world’s seaborne oil currently flows.

The proposal would rely on broad international participation, with European and Asian buyers investing in infrastructure and securing long-term supply agreements.
«European buyers are desperate for long-term supply resilience, and Asian customers are equally exposed,» Goldberg said. «Even China cannot tolerate the risk of a sustained disruption.»
The push comes as Iran’s threats to commercial shipping and ongoing U.S. efforts to secure the waterway under President Donald Trump’s «Project Freedom» highlight the risks posed by a single chokepoint to global energy flows.
Roughly one-third of the world’s seaborne oil passes through the narrow waterway, making it a critical artery for global markets. With Iran threatening shipping and U.S. forces now guiding vessels through the strait under President Donald Trump’s «Project Freedom,» the White House is framing the crisis in global terms.
«The President will not allow Iran to hold the global economy hostage and undermine the free flow of energy,» said White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers, describing the launch of «Project Freedom» as a humanitarian effort to restore navigation through the strait.
That framing aligns with a growing view among U.S. officials and analysts that the risk is not only immediate but also structural.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz signaled that Washington’s partners are already looking beyond the strait itself.
«I know our Gulf partners and allies are seriously thinking through that,» Waltz told Fox News Digital when asked about long-term alternatives during a conference call with reporters Monday.
«I know they’re looking at additional alternatives to frankly diversify their pathways and diversify their economies,» he added.

A vulnerability years in the making
The idea that Hormuz represents a structural weakness is not new. But until now, it has largely been tolerated, with global markets relying on stability in the Gulf to keep energy flowing.
That assumption is now under strain.
Even with U.S. naval power deployed to secure the waterway, the current crisis has highlighted how quickly disruption, or even the threat of it, can ripple through global supply chains.
«This isn’t just a long-term idea anymore,» said Rich Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank. «There is a real threat to the Strait of Hormuz that isn’t going away so long as the regime in Tehran remains.»

Saudi Arabia: Building around the risk
Saudi Arabia stands out as the country among Gulf states that has invested most heavily in reducing reliance on Hormuz.
Its East-West pipeline allows crude oil to travel from eastern fields on the Gulf to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, bypassing the strait entirely. From there, shipments can move toward Europe, Africa and Asia without entering the chokepoint.
«Saudi Arabia has treated the Strait of Hormuz risk with planning, not panic,» said Salman Al-Ansari, a Saudi geopolitical analyst.
«The East-West pipeline is strategic insurance,» he told Fox News Digital, «A Hormuz closure would be disruptive, but not paralyzing. Saudi Arabia has spent years reducing that vulnerability, and today it is uniquely positioned to absorb shocks and keep global flows moving.»
Al-Ansari argued that the kingdom’s strategy goes beyond energy exports, positioning the country as a broader logistics hub.
«Ports, pipelines, land bridges, storage and Red Sea access are all part of one Saudi contingency architecture,» he said.

UAE and the fragmentation of the Gulf model
Saudi Arabia is not the only player adapting.
The United Arab Emirates also has developed alternative export capacity through its pipeline to Fujairah, outside the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, some analysts argue that recent regional dynamics point to a deeper shift, one that goes beyond infrastructure and into the political structure of the Gulf itself.
Yonatan Adiri, an Israeli entrepreneur and former adviser to former Israeli President Shimon Peres, said the traditional model of a unified Gulf energy system centered on Hormuz is beginning to break down.
«The whole arrangement … it’s starting to expire,» Adiri said, referring to the long-standing reliance on the strait as a central artery for Gulf exports.
He pointed to emerging economic and geopolitical realignments, including new corridors and shifting alliances, that are fragmenting the region’s traditional energy architecture.
«The UAE stepping away from OPEC is not just about production policy,» Adiri said, referring to the country’s decision to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries effective May 1, 2026. «It reflects a broader shift toward an independent strategy — building its own routes, partnerships and leverage rather than relying on a collective system.»
These changes are driven in part by broader global competition, according to Adiri, particularly efforts by the United States and its partners to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
«The entire system is being rethought,» he said, describing a shift toward diversified routes that reduce reliance on single choke points.

Uneven exposure across the Gulf
Despite these developments, not all Gulf states are equally prepared.
«If you’re Kuwait, you’re in a world of hurt,» Goldberg said, pointing to countries that lack meaningful alternatives to maritime exports.
Qatar, one of the world’s largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, remains heavily dependent on the strait, with limited options to reroute supply if shipping is disrupted.
This uneven exposure could reshape regional dynamics, giving countries with alternative routes greater resilience and leverage in future crises.
Political limits and long-term questions
While the technical case for alternative routes is growing stronger, political constraints remain.
One of the most sensitive issues is whether future corridors could involve Israel, even indirectly.
«As for routes involving Israel, even indirectly, the politics are extremely difficult under current circumstances,» Al-Ansari said. «I genuinely do not see it happening now.»
At the same time, he suggested that such cooperation could become more realistic in the future under different political conditions.
A system in transition
For now, the U.S. and its allies remain focused on stabilizing the immediate situation in the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring that ships can pass safely and global markets continue to function.
But as tensions persist, the current crisis is forcing a broader reassessment.

The question is no longer just how to secure the strait, but whether the global energy system can afford to depend on it to the extent it has for decades.
If the current trajectory continues, Hormuz may remain critical, but no longer dominant, experts argue, as countries invest in new routes, new partnerships and a more diversified energy map.

Cuba prepara una mayor apertura de mercado bajo la fuerte presión de Trump: “Cambiar para salir de la crisis”
En momentos en que la Asamblea Nacional se dispone a aprobar un paquete de reformas orientadas hacia una mayor apertura de mercado, el presidente cubano Miguel Díaz-Canel dijo este jueves que la economía de la isla, afectada por una profunda crisis económica bajo presión de Washington, necesita “cambios urgentes”.
“Cuando la vida del pueblo se vuelve tan dura, el primer deber del Partido Comunista y del Gobierno revolucionario no es explicar mejor la crisis, sino cambiar lo que haya que cambiar para salir de ella”, dijo el jefe de Estado, también primer secretario del PCC.
Estas reformas, cuyos detalles aún no se conocen completamente, buscan abrir más sectores a la inversión privada, atraer más capital de los cubanos en el exterior, reducir el peso del Estado y otorgar mayor autonomía a las empresas públicas.
“La realidad nos impone cambios urgentes y necesarios”, declaró el jefe de Estado en un discurso transmitido por la televisión estatal y pronunciado el miércoles durante una sesión extraordinaria del Comité Central del Partido Comunista (PCC, único).
En forma paralela, el gobierno convocó a un grupo de expertos conformado por economistas habitualmente críticos del rumbo del país para asesorar sobre el plan.
El paquete de reformas
Durante esta sesión extraordinaria, la máxima instancia del partido aprobó un paquete de reformas hacia una mayor liberalización económica, cuyos lineamientos habían sido presentados por Díaz-Canel la semana pasada.
“Algunas no tendrán un consenso absoluto, pero son impostergables”, insistió este jueves el mandatario. Una mujer vestida con los colores de la bandera de Estados Unidos compra frutas a un vendedor ambulante en una calle de La Habana (Foto: EFE)
Estos anuncios de reformas se producen mientras el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump aplica una política de máxima presión sobre la isla, sometida desde hace casi cinco meses a un bloqueo petrolero.

El influyente expresidente Raúl Castro, de 94 años, ya ha dado su apoyo a las reformas. La Asamblea Nacional del Poder Popular se reúne de urgencia la tarde del jueves para aprobarlas.
“Decisiones inteligentes”
Díaz Canel, quien mencionó los ejemplos de China y Vietnam, abogó por una transformación económica “profunda y ágil, ejecutable en corto plazo”.
El viernes había señalado que el abanico de actividades abiertas al sector privado será “lo más amplio posible”.
Las empresas privadas, de hasta 100 empleados, están autorizadas en la isla comunista desde 2021. Unas 10.000 empresas ocupan un lugar creciente en el tejido económico cubano y emplean actualmente a un tercio de la población activa.
El bloqueo estadounidense ha llevado a la economía cubana, bajo embargo desde 1962, al borde del colapso, provocando cortes de electricidad generalizados, así como escasez de alimentos, combustible, agua potable y medicamentos.
Washington no oculta su deseo de ver un cambio de modelo económico, e incluso de régimen, en la isla situada a unos 150 kilómetros de las costas de Florida.
“Si toman decisiones inteligentes, tendremos una relación mucho mejor con esa isla”, reaccionó el vicepresidente estadounidense JD Vance, interrogado en la Casa Blanca sobre una posible intervención militar en Cuba tras la firma de un acuerdo entre Washington y Teherán.

El presidente cubano llamó a “crear un entorno institucional y regulatorio” que incentive a empresas y trabajadores a producir bienes y ofrecer servicios de calidad y con eficiencia.
“Hay trabas que no vienen de afuera, ni del bloqueo (estadounidense). Hay lentitud, burocracia, normas que frenan al que quiere producir y decisiones que hemos postergado” por “error”, reconoció.
Quiénes son los expertos que asesoran al gobierno cubano
Uno de los expertos más reconocidos que asesoran al gobierno cubano es el economista Omar Everleny Pérez, exdirector del Centro de Estudios de la Economía Cubana y profesor de la Universidad de La Habana.
En una reciente entrevista con TN, dijo que Cuba necesita una reforma al estilo de Vietnam.
El país asiático mantuvo su modelo de partido comunista único, pero adoptó una economía de mercado con orientación social. Así, hace 30 años realizó privatizaciones agrícolas, apertura a la inversión extranjera y una integración al mundo globalizado.
Everleny Pérez ya impulsó como asesor una apertura económica a mediados de los 90, tras el derrumbe de la Unión Soviética, pero la mayoría de sus propuestas fueron rechazadas por el entonces presidente Fidel Castro. Otros asesores son los economistas Juan Triana y Julio Carranza.
Los tres expertos suelen expresar cuestionamientos al modelo económico cubano en ámbitos académicos y medios independientes.
Por el ámbito oficial, en el grupo participan dos diputados: el exministro de Economía y Planificación José Luis Rodríguez García y el presidente de la Asociación Nacional de Economistas y Contadores (ANEC), José Carlos del Toro Ríos.

Iran hardliner behind US deal warns Tehran won’t honor agreement if Trump fails to deliver
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iran’s hardline parliament speaker and key negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Tehran would not honor its commitments under a newly signed memorandum with the U.S. if Washington fails to uphold its side of the deal, according to the media arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
«If the United States does not honor its commitments, there is no way Iran will honor its own commitments,» Ghalibaf said, according to the outlet.
Ghalibaf’s warning was echoed Thursday by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani, who threatened the U.S. in remarks translated by MEMRI TV, saying, «Americans should know their place and avoid confronting the Muslims.»
Qaani added that «Trump is trembling» and warned that the U.S. «should fear not only Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, but many other locations as well.»
MEET IRAN’S HARDLINE SPEAKER WHO THREATENED TO BURN US FORCES — REPORTEDLY TEHRAN’S POINT MAN FOR TALKS
The warnings came after President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Wednesday digitally signed a copy of the memorandum aimed at ending the war and resuming the flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

The memorandum gives Iran major economic relief while leaving some of the most difficult nuclear questions for a final agreement to be negotiated throughout the next 60 days. Under the 14-point plan read by a senior U.S. official, Washington agreed to begin lifting its naval blockade, work with regional partners on a $300 billion reconstruction and development plan for Iran, and terminate U.S., U.N. and other sanctions on an agreed schedule as part of a final deal.
The memorandum also says all licenses, waivers and permissions needed for related financial transactions would be granted by the United States.
In return, Iran reaffirmed that it «shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons,» and the two sides agreed to resolve the fate of Iran’s stockpiled enriched material under a future mechanism, with the minimum method being on-site down-blending under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision.
The agreement defers many of the hardest questions — including how to wind down Iran’s nuclear program — until the 60-day negotiation period for a final deal.
But the Iranian figure at the center of the deal is not a diplomat known for moderation.
Ghalibaf, a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander and longtime regime insider, has threatened American forces, vowed Trump would «pay the price» and built his career through loyalty to Iran’s security establishment.
The new warning underscored what experts say is the central risk of the agreement: Washington may be entering a deal with officials who can enforce Iran’s commitments, but who have shown little sign of changing the regime’s long-term posture toward the U.S., Israel or the region.
Ghalibaf, 64, is a product of Iran’s security establishment. He rose through the ranks of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps during the Iran-Iraq War, eventually becoming commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air force.
He later served as Iran’s national police chief, overseeing internal security forces responsible for suppressing protests, including the 1999 student uprising, alongside Qassem Soleimani.
After transitioning into politics, Ghalibaf attempted to run for president multiple times but failed. He instead built his career through loyalty to the system, serving as Tehran’s mayor for more than a decade before becoming speaker of parliament in 2020.

«Ghalibaf doesn’t have an independent line. His strength is that he is a ‘yes man,’» Beni Sabti, an Iran expert at the Institute for National Security Studies, previously told Fox News Digital. «If he is told to shake hands with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, he will do it. If he is told to escalate, he will. It is not about moderation, it is about who gives the orders.»
«His name has also been linked to multiple corruption allegations, including misuse of oil revenues and sanctions evasion networks involving his family. His sons have reportedly been involved and are under sanctions,» Sabti said, adding, «There have also been public scandals involving family members traveling abroad and making luxury purchases, including widely circulated images of them arriving with numerous high-end Gucci suitcases.»
Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the image of Ghalibaf at a signing ceremony with a senior U.S. official would be a propaganda victory for the regime.
«There was a time when the Islamic Republic would have been terrified to be seen signing such a thing,» Ben Taleblu told Fox News Digital. «Post-war, this is a sign of the regime’s opportunism, and no one identifies that opportunism better than someone like Ghalibaf, who comes from the IRGC, who is a corrupt politician and is a wheeler and dealer.»
But Taleblu warned that Washington should not confuse Ghalibaf’s opportunism with moderation.
«The mirage is the myth of Iranian military moderation and the myth that, with time, this regime will integrate and put aside all the things that have kept it on the sidelines for so long,» he said. «Transforming Iran via a deal — that is a huge lift.»
Ghalibaf’s wartime statements reflect the hardline posture inside Iran’s leadership. In remarks aired on Iranian television on Jan. 12 and translated by MEMRI, he warned that U.S. forces would face catastrophic consequences if they confronted Iran.
«Come, so you can see what catastrophe befalls American bases, ships and forces,» he said, adding that American troops would be «burned by the fire of Iran’s defenders.»
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNVEILS SWEEPING TERMS OF PROPOSED IRAN AGREEMENT

More recently, he warned that «the blood of American soldiers is the personal responsibility of Trump,» and vowed Iran would «settle accounts with the Americans and Israelis,» adding that «Trump and Netanyahu crossed our red lines and will pay the price.»
John Hannah, a senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America and a former national security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, said Ghalibaf’s expected role reflects the reality of who holds power inside Iran.
«If you’re going to sign an agreement with Iran, those are the forces in charge and calling the shots, presumably with the approval of the new Supreme Leader,» Hannah told Fox News Digital. «If the U.S. harbors hope that Iran will ever implement any of their obligations under the MOU, these are the people — odious as they are — capable of making it happen.»
But Hannah said the central question is whether Iran’s leadership sees compliance as useful, or whether the agreement is simply a tactical pause.
«The big question is whether they see it in their interest to do so, or are they only buying time, rebuilding their power and preparing for the next round of conflict,» he said.
Ben Taleblu was even more blunt, warning that even a seemingly favorable agreement would not change the nature of the regime.
«Even if you’ve got the perfect deal, with this kind of regime, with this kind of mentality, they will escalate,» he said. «I thought we would have learned by now what the regime did after the JCPOA. It built a vast missile arsenal. It literally built an empire of terror proxies that took Israel years of blood, effort and money to dismantle, backed by American support.»

Un líder criminal fue asesinado al llegar a Ecuador y el ataque en el aeropuerto de Guayaquil abre preguntas sobre los controles de seguridad
Dos adolescentes fueron los perpetradores. Esperaban a la víctima, un cabecilla criminal, con flores y peluches.
El asesinato de un hombre identificado por el Gobierno ecuatoriano como cabecilla de una organización criminal provocó conmoción en Guayaquil y abrió una serie de interrogantes sobre los controles de seguridad en uno de los principales puntos de ingreso al país. La tarde del 17 de junio, un ataque armado registrado en los exteriores del aeropuerto internacional José Joaquín de Olmedo dejó un fallecido y una persona herida, en un hecho que ocurrió frente a pasajeros, familiares y trabajadores que se encontraban en la terminal aérea.
Minutos después del atentado, el ministro del Interior, John Reimberg, confirmó que la víctima mortal era Carlos Alberto Suástegui Villanueva, de 39 años, a quien las autoridades identifican como cabecilla del grupo criminal Los Águilas, una estructura que opera principalmente en el cantón El Triunfo, en la provincia del Guayas. El funcionario aseguró además que se trataba de un objetivo criminal priorizado dentro de las investigaciones que mantiene el Estado contra organizaciones vinculadas a delitos violentos.
De acuerdo con la información preliminar proporcionada por la Policía Nacional, Suástegui acababa de arribar a Guayaquil cuando fue interceptado por varios sujetos armados en el área exterior de llegadas internacionales. Los atacantes abrieron fuego en repetidas ocasiones y huyeron del lugar. El hombre murió como consecuencia de las heridas, mientras que una mujer que lo acompañaba resultó lesionada y recibió atención médica.
La balacera generó momentos de pánico entre las personas que se encontraban en el aeropuerto. Videos grabados por testigos mostraron a pasajeros buscando refugio y a personal de seguridad acordonando la zona mientras llegaban agentes policiales y equipos de emergencia. Aunque el acceso al área donde ocurrió el crimen fue restringido durante varias horas para permitir el levantamiento de indicios, la concesionaria de la terminal informó que las operaciones aéreas continuaron con normalidad.
Poco después del ataque, las autoridades anunciaron la aprehensión de dos adolescentes, de 15 y 16 años, en el sector del parqueadero del aeropuerto. Según el Ministerio del Interior, ambos son investigados por su presunta participación en el atentado. La Policía indicó que las primeras diligencias permitieron ubicar a los sospechosos cuando intentaban abandonar el lugar.
La identificación de la víctima dio paso a un intenso debate público. Diversos usuarios en redes sociales, analistas de seguridad y actores políticos cuestionaron cómo una persona señalada por el propio Gobierno como líder de una organización criminal pudo transitar por el sistema migratorio y llegar hasta la zona pública de la terminal sin que se produjera una intervención de las autoridades.
La seguridad del aeropuerto logró detenerlos dentro del parqueadero del terminal
Hasta el momento, el Ministerio del Interior y la Policía Nacional no han informado si Suástegui mantenía una orden de captura vigente al momento de su ingreso al país o si existía alguna alerta migratoria activa en su contra. Tampoco se ha precisado si era objeto de seguimiento por parte de organismos de inteligencia. La ausencia de esa información alimentó preguntas sobre la coordinación entre las instituciones encargadas del control fronterizo y los organismos de seguridad.
Otro de los aspectos que ha concentrado la atención es la aparente precisión con la que actuaron los atacantes. El hecho de que el crimen se produjera poco después de la llegada de la víctima llevó a que surgieran especulaciones sobre un posible seguimiento previo o sobre el conocimiento anticipado de su itinerario. Sin embargo, las autoridades no han presentado evidencias que respalden esas hipótesis y señalaron que la investigación continúa en curso.
Las dudas también alcanzan a los mecanismos de seguridad en el aeropuerto. Aunque el ataque ocurrió en una zona de acceso público y no dentro de las áreas restringidas de embarque o desembarque, el caso volvió a poner bajo escrutinio los protocolos de protección en infraestructuras consideradas estratégicas. Desde el inicio del conflicto armado interno declarado por el Gobierno en 2024, los aeropuertos del país han operado bajo medidas reforzadas de vigilancia debido a la expansión de la violencia vinculada al crimen organizado.
