Saudi Arabia closes East-West oil pipeline after drone attacks
Saudi Arabia reportedly closed its East-West oil pipeline as a precaution after drone attacks launched from Iraq. The pipeline has capacity of up to 7 million barrels per day and is a key alternative to the Strait of Hormuz.
The closure removes a major oil-export route and could intensify supply and price risks if disruption persists.
