Arabia Saudită închide conducta Est-Vest după un atac cu drone
Saudi Arabia has temporarily closed the East-West pipeline following a drone attack, which is part of ongoing tensions in the region. The pipeline is crucial for transporting oil to the Red Sea, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. The attack has raised concerns about global oil supply, as the pipeline has been transporting millions of barrels daily. The Saudi Energy Ministry announced the suspension as a precaution, while investigations are underway to identify the attackers, believed to have originated from Iraq. This incident adds pressure to an already strained global oil market, with prices exceeding $100 per barrel.
