Arabia Saudită închide conducta Est-Vest după un atac cu drone lansate din Irak. Ruta transporta 5 milioane de barili pe zi și ocolea Ormuzul

Saudi Arabia has temporarily suspended the East-West pipeline following a drone attack believed to have originated from Iraq. This pipeline is crucial for transporting 4-5 million barrels of oil daily, especially to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. The Saudi Energy Ministry stated the suspension is a precautionary measure, with damage assessments ongoing. Iraq condemned the attack and initiated operations to identify those responsible, including the dismissal of a military commander. The incident adds pressure to an already strained oil market, with prices rising above $100 per barrel due to escalating tensions in the region.
