Reviewing your maps, I would think that the Big Winners in Egypt going to the dogs would be the U.S. and Mexico

Chinese product to Europe would have the much longer voyage if the Suez was not available, yet they could benefit from the energy prices since oil from the M.E. would find its shortest route to China rather than Europe.

OTOH, the shortest trade routes for energy and products for Europe would be the Western Hemisphere.

Syria and Iraq could also benefit mightily if the Suez were to be expected to be out of commission for a significant period of time since it could green-light the underwriting aspect of massive pipelines from the oil fields in Iraq, through neighboring Syria to the Med.

USSR Russia could get highly P.O'd about this since it would diminish the threat of cutting off gas supplies to Europe.
