The hourglass of Saudi oil has activated. 🔹An attack on the strategic east-west pipeline of Saudi Arabia has placed the country in serious crisis regarding its oil exports. 🔹According to Reuters, citing three knowledgeable sources, Saudi Arabia has only 5 to 7 days' worth of oil reserves for exports at the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. The sources added that Riyadh has a smaller amount of oil stored in Egyptian ports as well. 🔹This situation arose after the east-west pipeline in Saudi Arabia was halted following drone attacks. 🔹This pipeline allowed the country to export part of its oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
