On the 17th local time, according to US sources, US Secretary of Energy Wright said that Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline, which was damaged by a drone attack a few days ago, is expected to resume operation “relatively quickly.” Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline was forced to stop operation after being attacked by a drone on the 10th. The pipeline can help Saudi Arabia bypass the Strait of Hormuz to export oil. Earlier, it was reported that the pipeline could take up to 5 weeks to be repaired before it can resume operation. Wright said in this regard that 3 pumping stations of the pipeline were attacked, 2 of which were slightly damaged, and it is expected that the pipeline will resume operation “relatively quickly.”
