Saudi oil pipeline could remain largely out of service for months after Houthi attack
The damaged Saudi oil pipeline is expected to be mostly out of service for several weeks, with some reports warning repairs could take months. Iran denies involvement, while Chinese buyers face delays in receiving oil through the disrupted system.
Prolonged disruption to a major Saudi oil route could tighten global crude supplies and amplify regional conflict and energy-market risks.
