The recent drone attack on Oman’s Duqm port has escalated the ongoing conflict, coinciding with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. The attack targeted fuel tanks, causing damage but no casualties, and follows a series of Iranian strikes on critical infrastructure, including halted production in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In response to the heightened risk, Saudi Aramco is attempting to reroute some of its crude exports to the Red Sea, aiming to bypass the Strait of Hormuz where shipping has slowed significantly due to attacks. However, the East-West Pipeline's limited capacity raises concerns about its vulnerability to further strikes.
