Hey, if that's all you need to get the job done, then that's all you need. That's part of why, despite the decades of war planning, no one figured out how to "solve" the Strait of Hormuz problem.

Except route the oil demand away from it.
iraq-businessnews.com - 6m bpd kirkuk export pipeline set for relaunch

Iraq's Ministry of Oil has announced that exports via the Kirkuk-Fishkhabour-Turkey pipeline are expected to resume soon, initially with limited volumes. The Ministry said the pipeline, which has a total capacity of 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd), will be brought back into service following completion of hydrostatic testing. Saheb Al-Bazoun, spokesperson for the Ministry, confirmed that tanker-based exports to Syria, reaching the port of Baniyas, are continuing in parallel.

Sure is! I'd way rather have their economy than ours.
