Saudi Arabia shifts oil exports to Strait of Hormuz, bypassing East-West pipeline

Saudi Arabia has sold ~20 million barrels to Asian refineries for shipment via the Strait of Hormuz, a reversal from recent months when the East-West pipeline was used to bypass the partially blocked strait. This suggests either improved security conditions or a strategic decision to test the route, with implications for global oil supply and regional risk.
