    • Critical chokepoint: The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, with 20% of the world's oil passing through it.
    • Ongoing blockade: The blockade of the strait has been in effect for nearly 11 weeks due to hostilities related to the Iran war.
    • ADNOC's role: The UAE's state oil company, ADNOC, has been directed to prioritize the completion of this pipeline project.
