Atac cu drone asupra unei conducte-cheie din Arabia Saudită. Petrolul, din nou sub presiune • Newsweek România
Saudi Arabia temporarily shut down a key oil pipeline after drone attacks from Iraq, increasing pressure on its oil exports. The East-West pipeline, crucial for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, was targeted, causing injuries and damage. Iraq confirmed the drones were launched from its territory, prompting an investigation and the dismissal of a military commander. Despite the attack, Saudi Arabia has opted not to respond militarily for now, reserving the right to protect its infrastructure. The situation is exacerbated by regional conflicts and threats to maritime routes, with oil prices already rising significantly.
