Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy announced on Thursday that the country’s daily oil supply capacity has fallen by 700,000 barrels, equivalent to about 10 percent of its current exports, following attacks on its East-West pipeline. The ministry confirmed that one of the pipeline’s pumping stations was among the targets, disrupting the flow of crude oil across the kingdom.
This marks the first official Saudi statement acknowledging damage to its energy infrastructure caused by Iranian attacks. The announcement comes as the United States and Iran prepare for high-level peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan. The East-West pipeline has become increasingly vital for Gulf oil transport since Iran took control of the Strait of Hormuz and restricted vessel movement through the waterway.
The ministry also reported that the Manifa and Khurais oil processing centers were hit in the same wave of attacks, further straining Saudi Arabia’s energy operations.
