Saudi Arabia is grappling with a significant threat to its oil exports as Houthis continue their offensive, resulting in the shutdown of a critical oil pipeline following a drone attack attributed to Iran-backed militias. The East-West pipeline, crucial for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, is expected to be out of operation for weeks, leading to rising oil prices, with U.S. crude surpassing $105 per barrel. As tensions heighten, the U.S. asserts that the pipeline will resume operations soon, though experts warn of a disastrous loss of oil and a potential global supply crisis if the situation escalates further. Satellite images reveal extensive damage to the Saudi pipeline, while mounting pressure from Iran and allied forces presents substantial challenges for Riyadh, leaving it with few options to secure its oil exports.
