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.
Analysts warn that oil prices could surge sharply if the pipeline stays offline longer than the estimated five-to-seven-day inventory cushion.
The war with Iran has pushed the world into an energy crisis. The closure of a Saudi oil pipeline after an attack could worsen the crisis and affect the movement of oil.

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched another wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia and were reinforcing positions along Yemen’s western Red Sea coast, Yemeni officials said. Urgent discussions were underway in Riyadh over how to respond to their rapid advance.
The Iran-backed Houthis have seized parts of Yemen’s Red Sea coastline and tightened control over islands there, giving them influence over a vital global shipping route. The renewed fighting has broken a largely sustained ceasefire and raised fears that Yemen could slide into another civil war as disruption in the Strait of Hormuz affects maritime traffic.
The Houthis’ advance along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, including the seizure of Mocha and movement toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, is drawing new attention to their extensive financing system. Researchers say it spans ports, tariffs, Iranian oil, hawala networks, cryptocurrency exchanges and foreign facilitators, complicating US efforts to cut the group’s funding without disrupting civilian lifelines.

He says the sale will let ordinary Nigerians share in the plant’s success, while experts warn that prices could fall and urge buyers to avoid investing money they need soon.
Aliko Dangote plans to raise about $1.6 billion through an IPO of Dangote Industries to help fund a $14.3 billion expansion that would double the refinery’s capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day.
