Saudi Arabia forced to SHUT DOWN oil pipeline after attack.

Saudi Arabia's shutdown of its East-West oil pipeline following drone attacks launched from Iraq's Maysan province on September 10-11, 2026.

Saudi officials described the strikes on facilities in Riyadh and Medina regions as causing injuries and damage, leading to a precautionary closure of the 1,200 km pipeline that bypasses the disrupted Strait of Hormuz and carries 4-5 million barrels daily.

Iraq dismissed a military commander and launched an investigation, while the incident amid the US-Iran war and Houthi Red Sea advances briefly pushed Brent crude above $110 per barrel.
