Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz sparks 'tremendous interest' in alternate routes
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the U.S.-Israel war with Iran has served as wake-up call that a significant source of the world's oil supply remains dependent on the accessibility of this narrow passageway. But, analysts say, it may now force some serious consideration of oil export alternatives.

A quotation from Montaigne

Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
 
[Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]
