> Satellite imagery shows severe damage to a pumping station on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline after last week’s strike. Experts say repairs could take four to six weeks, potentially cutting oil supplies by up to 3.6 million barrels a day and pushing prices higher. Saudi Arabia blamed Iranian-backed Iraqi militias, while Houthi attacks have also intensified.
