WHAT HAPPENED
Iraq confirmed that attacks on a vital Saudi oil pipeline originated from Iraqi territory. Iraq also closed three border crossings with Iran, while the United States said Iran was likely responsible; the reports indicate a widening regional crisis.
SO WHAT?
The attribution and border closures raise the risk of interstate escalation and disruption to a strategically important oil-export route.
