Libya has shut four oil ports as a precautionary measure while state-owned National Oil Corp. declared a state of maximum alert on Sept. 10, before a possible hurricane headed for the country. All companies affiliated with NOC must reduce movement outside oil sites, restrict movement and stop flights between fields, the NOC said on X, the platform formerly called Twitter. Ports and shipment movements should also be monitored, and steps taken if necessary to protect industrial units, production lines, storage units and facilities from floods, NOC said.

It also exposes the flawed assumptions underpinning this strategy, particularly in a country as politically fragmented and volatile as Libya. Clearly, the reverberations of this diplomatic blunder extend far beyond the borders of Libya, threatening to undermine Washington’s priorities in the region, while simultaneously exposing how misguided its approach is to the broader Arab region.
