Aerial Views on Saudi Eastern-West Pipeline
The main oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, stretching from east to west, was subjected to missile and drone attacks launched from Iraq, causing widespread damage and impairments to pumping facilities, leading to its closure as a precautionary measure. Saudi Arabia condemned the attack, which resulted in injuries and damage, and affirmed that it is not currently supporting the Iraqi government's efforts to prevent such strikes from Iraqi territory. This comes amid escalating tensions with Iran and threats to national oil resources. These attacks follow the Houthi militia's capture of a strategic city at the Red Sea port, raising concerns about potential security escalation and its impact on global oil supplies, which have surged above $100 per barrel this week.
