Saudi Arabia suspends operations on east-west pipeline after drone attack from Iraq

After a drone attack from Iraq, Saudi Arabia has suspended operations on its important east-west pipeline as a precautionary measure. The Iraqi government condemned the attack and launched an investigation, while Saudi Arabia refrained from responding to give Baghdad time. The attack comes in the context of previous US and Saudi airstrikes against Iran-backed militias based in Iraq, which regional sources say receive support from Yemen's Houthis. At the same time, the Houthis captured the strategically important Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which has become increasingly important for Saudi oil exports across the Red Sea, particularly due to the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
