Saudi East-West Pipeline Bombed, Hormuz Bypass Capacity at Risk

The East-West Pipeline in Saudi Arabia, a key alternative to Strait of Hormuz transit, has been bombed, potentially disrupting up to 5-7 mbpd of crude flows to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. The attack, attributed to regional actors, threatens a critical energy chokepoint bypass and could tighten global oil supply. The extent of damage and duration of outage remain unconfirmed.
