Arabia Saudită, lovită de drone: conducta petrolieră strategică a fost închisă. Houthii amenință o nouă rută • Newsweek România

Saudi Arabia has temporarily closed a crucial oil pipeline after it was targeted by drone attacks, likely linked to Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. This incident raises concerns over the security of oil exports and maritime routes in the region. The Houthi forces have intensified their offensive, capturing strategic locations that could threaten key shipping lanes, including the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. President Trump suggested that the situation could stabilize soon, while the price of oil has surged above $100 per barrel due to these tensions. The pipeline, spanning 1,200 km, is vital for Saudi Arabia's oil transport, allowing it to bypass the heavily contested Strait of Hormuz.
