In the show this week, we look at how Syria could benefit from the oil crisis triggered by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. After Iran effectively closed the strategic waterway, Syria's Mediterranean port of Baniyas found itself emerging as a hub for crude oil transported overland from the UAE and Iraq. Could Syria – a country in desperate need of investment after 14 years of civil war – establish itself as a new energy corridor, even after the Gulf conflict is over? Neil Quilliam, Associate Fellow for the Middle East at Chatham House and a specialist in energy policy, joins us to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by these new export routes.

According to the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), a strong south-west monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, combined with a low-pressure system off the coast of Vietnam, is expected to bring persistent rain across the country on June 2.

Travellers planning boat trips, island tours or water activities should closely monitor local weather advisories. The TMD has warned of rough seas in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

What began as a chaotic wartime closure has, in the past few days, hardened into something more consequential: an official sovereign toll regime, codified in Iranian law, and priced in cryptocurrency.On May 18, Iran operationally launched the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, a formal state bureaucracy with its own internet domain (pgsa.ir), account on X, and contact email. Since then, Tehran has delineated a “management supervision area” across the strait and announced a transit-permit scheme that converts Hormuz from an international waterway into a vetted toll plaza.Under the The post The Toll Booth at the Throat of World Trade appeared first on War on the Rocks.
