From Gemini:

Building a canal across the United Arab Emirates or the Musandam Peninsula would require cutting through massive mountain ranges. The cost would likely exceed $200–$500 billion, making it one of the most expensive engineering feats in human history.

The Arab states have 50 years to solve this problem, and yet they do nothing

Difficulty of construction aside, Iran can still send warships and sea mines to blockade your newly created canal.

Waiting for the crazy orange man to just flatten the place like in 1945

Then he will win everything

Forget about middle East. Boycott oil from there.

Eventually their countries will collapse.
