“With the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia began re-routing their oil through a 742 mile long pipeline called the “East-West Pipeline (PETROLINE) That pipeline is now blown up.
The pipeline was capable of carrying five million barrels of oil per day. Now, it can move nothing.
Middle Eastern countries have watched their ability to ship oil, crippled by the Israel/US/Iran conflict. Saudi Arabia had previously built the East-West pipeline in case of such an eventuality, so THEIR oil could still be shipped, albeit via the Red Sea.
Those plans just got blown up.”
