mountainous. You move the pipe over to the Red Sea, we're back to the other strait, Bab el Mandeb and the Houthis. (Turns out, Bab-el-Mandeb = باب المندب translates as Gate of Grief/Tears.)
If you want the pipe to connect to the Mediterranean, you need to get past Israel or Syria or Lebanon. Or get to Egypt through Sinai. Not exactly the safest territory either way.
These people obviously don't even take a look at the map and instead go by what they're told by the gulf nations and/or Israel.
