rafidainscope - Satellite images showed that the main Saudi East-West oil pipeline was subjected to an unknown strike. The Reuters news agency said that the main pipeline, which is considered one of the most important economic infrastructures of Saudi Arabia, was
hit by a strike of unknown source, with columns of smoke seen rising from its location in satellite images. The agency added that the Saudi East-West pipeline has become a vital artery for the Saudi economy after the closure of the
Strait of Hormuz by Iran, as Saudi Aramco uses it to transport oil to the Red Sea in the west and export it to international markets away from the closed strait. It is noteworthy that the Saudi government declined to comment
on the attack, neither denying nor confirming it, after being contacted by Reuters.
