which report that the pipeline to the Red Sea is only currently running at half-capacity, and can be doubled, and there are plans to do that.

I lived in Texas for a while, and didn't know much at all about the oil business until a family moved in next door who had lived in Saudi Arabia for a decade. The husband worked for Shell. We see deceptive and corporate owned news media focus our attention on the Straights when the Iranians act up and because they've always been a rogue nation, but most of the oil out of there that comes our way, except maybe from Bahrain or Qatar, or Kuwait, comes from the west coast ports to tankers going through Suez. No Houthis, no Straights of Hormuz, just the Red Sea to Suez (or another pipeline up that way) across the Med and either into Europe or on to the United States.

The propaganda about the Straights of Hormuz is to get information out to justify raising prices and grabbing off bigger profits.
