Three facts that don't get told together: 1968: Israel and Iran secretly built a pipeline — Eilat to Ashkelon, Red Sea to Mediterranean. Shell companies in Liechtenstein concealed it. Iranian oil through Israeli territory for over a decade. 1963: US government studied using 520 nuclear bombs to dig a canal along the same route. Classified. Declassified 1993. Canal goes around Gaza — because controlling Gaza removes the detour. 2025: Kushner unveiled Project Sunrise — $112 billion to develop Gaza's Mediterranean coastline. His firm raised $3.5 billion from Gulf sovereign wealth funds. No mention of the pipeline. No mention of the canal. No mention of the geography. Egypt is offering 48% discounts on Suez transit fees — competing against infrastructure that threatens its $10 billion annual revenue — while simultaneously deploying fighter jets to defend UAE, whose pipeline is the threat. submitted by /u/Former_Image_9809 [link] [comments]
