Tensiuni în Strâmtoarea Ormuz. O navă, lovită de un proiectil. Petrolul, din nou sub presiune • Newsweek România

A vessel in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by a projectile, escalating tensions in a critical oil transport route. This incident follows a drone attack on a key Saudi pipeline, raising concerns about oil supply disruptions. The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported the attack, but details on damage and crew safety remain unclear. The East-West pipeline, recently targeted, is vital for Saudi oil exports, transporting millions of barrels daily. The closure of this pipeline adds pressure to an already strained oil market, with Brent crude prices surpassing $100 per barrel. The situation is further complicated by Houthi advances in Yemen and calls for U.S. military support from Saudi Arabia.
