Saudi Arabian oil pipeline system hit by projectiles triggering fires
- On Thursday, projectiles struck a key Saudi East-West pipeline system, hitting pumping stations according to US officials, while Friday satellite imagery confirmed extensive fire damage.
- With Iran effectively shuttering the Strait of Hormuz, the pipeline became essential to the Kingdom, leading Saudi Arabia to reroute about 5 million barrels of oil daily toward its Red Sea port of Yanbu.
- Following Houthi attacks over the past 24 hours, US officials noted the strike involved drones originating from Iraq, and Behnam Ben Taleblu of the FDD noted Iranian-aligned militias have used drones previously.
- Oil prices surged past $100 a barrel this week following the incident, and Saudi Arabia recently reported to OPEC that crude production plunged to the lowest levels since 1990.
- Endangering the Red Sea export route, Houthi fighters have targeted shipping near Bab al-Mandeb, while US officials and experts suggest repairing pump stations may prove less burdensome than fixing major pipeline damage.
