Saudi Pipeline Hit as Red Sea Tensions Rise | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Saudi Arabia’s vital East-West oil pipeline was hit by a drone attack, disrupting four to five million barrels of daily exports—roughly 4-5% of global supply. The strike, near Riyadh and Medina, caused injuries and damage, with fallout still unfolding. As the Strait of Hormuz remains volatile, this blow adds fuel to regional tensions, with Houthi rebels in Yemen seizing Perim Island at the Red Sea’s mouth—a move that could empower Iran. Blamed on Iraqi-linked groups, the attack has triggered Iraq’s dismissal of a border commander, while Saudi Arabia holds off on retaliation—at Iraq’s request—but keeps options open. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seeks U.S. help against the Houthis, who Iran may be backing more aggressively; the U.S. offers intelligence and targeting support but no direct action. Global oil prices surge past $100 a barrel amid mounting uncertainty. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
