Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline resumes operations after drone attack

nos.nl (Dutch) — September 22, 2026 at 09:01 PM UTC

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline is operational again after a drone attack nearly two weeks ago, according to Reuters sources. The 1,200-kilometer line bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed amid the US-Israel-Iran war. The pipeline previously carried about 4 million barrels daily, roughly 4 percent of global supply. Aramco aims to restore that volume but expects it to take about seven weeks. Three pumping stations were damaged in the attack, which Saudi Arabia blames on Iran-backed Iraqi militias. Crude oil prices fell about two dollars to $97 per barrel, the lowest since September 8. Iran offered to reopen the Strait within seven days if the US reduces its military presence and lifts the blockade. US envoys met Iranian officials today, while President Trump threatened to "destroy" Iran without a deal.
