Saudi Oil Pipeline Shut Down After Drone Attack From Iraq

Saudi Arabia has taken drastic measures to protect its oil supply after a drone attack on a critical pipeline. The East-West Pipeline, spanning over 1,200 kilometers, was attacked from Iraqi territory, causing material damage and several injuries.

The incident occurred as the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, with Iran-backed Houthi rebels making significant gains in Yemen.

Riyadh has chosen not to retaliate immediately, instead opting to support Iraq's efforts to prevent future attacks. The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated that it reserves the right to take necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security.
