The Strategies of the Gulf States to Bypass the Strait of Hormuz: A Balancing Act of Political Interests
Die Kooperation der Golfstaaten ist ein komplexer politischer Balanceakt, der nicht auf bedingungsloser Einheit basiert. Sie wird von individuellen und teils widersprüchlichen strategischen Eigeninteressen angetrieben. Experten charakterisieren diesen Ansatz daher als „ultra-pragmatisch“.
The cooperation of the Arabian Gulf states is not unconditional, but fundamentally pragmatic and is driven by individual, sometimes contradictory, self-interests. This cooperation is not based on a common ideal, but is driven by respective strategic self-interests. Therefore, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz represents a major political undertaking that significantly shapes their strategies and makes this measure a complex political balancing act. Observers from the West therefore describe the approach of the leaders as "ultra-pragmatic".
