Saudi Arabia is considering plans to build a 950-km water canal in Yemen to bypass the Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official state news agency Fars claimed.
The news agency reported that Sa’ad Ibn Omar, the head of Arab Studies Center in Riyadh, has revealed that studies are underway on the construction of the canal, which would start from a part of Saudi Arabia’s water border in Khour al-Adid area between the UAE and Qatar, and stretch 950 km to the Arabian Sea.
He reportedly added that 630 km of the waterway would be built in Saudi Arabia, while the remaining 320 km of it would be in Yemen with a width of 150 m and depth of 25 m.
