Saudi East-West Pipeline Halted After Attack on Pumping Station

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, was halted again after an attack on a pumping station on Sunday. This is the second disruption in a month, following a previous halt from September 11 to 22. The attack raises concerns about the security of Saudi energy infrastructure and could tighten global oil supply, especially given the pipeline's strategic role in circumventing Hormuz.
