It is expensive, but there are alternatives. Saudis have a Red Sea pipeline, Iraq has a pipeline through Turkey, and Iran can go over land.

My theory has always been that Trump was deliberately trying to drive up the price of oil for his political supporters in that industry. It may take another 6 months, but the world will figure out workarounds. When it does, A) everyone will really hate the U.S., and B) all of his leverage is gone.
