Saudi Arabia to Resume East-West Pipeline Operations Within Days

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that Saudi Arabia is expediting repairs to the East-West pipeline, aiming to resume operations within days. The pipeline, which transports crude from the Eastern Province to the Red Sea coast, is critical for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. The timeline suggests a rapid restoration of a key energy artery, though the extent of damage and current capacity remain unconfirmed.
