DUBAI / TEHRAN (International Desk) — Iran has attacked a critical Saudi Arabian oil pipeline passing through the Strait of Hormuz, causing severe damage to the infrastructure, according to a report by Reuters. The pipeline was transporting approximately 7 million barrels of crude oil per day.
Reuters reported that oil flow through the pipeline has been suspended following the strike, raising serious concerns about disruptions to global energy supplies. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most strategically vital waterways, through which a significant portion of global oil exports passes daily.
Analysts warn that if the situation escalates further, international crude oil prices could surge sharply. Riyadh and major world powers have yet to issue an official response to the attack.
