IRAN’S OIL CHOKEHOLD: Houthis Seize Red Sea Gateway, Iraqi Drone Cripples Saudi Pipeline — ‘Mecca Pact’ Allies Nowhere to Be Found

The Houthis made stunning gains, capturing territory that controls the Red Sea exit. In addition, a drone originating in Iraq struck a Saudi Arabian oil pumping station, shutting down a pipeline carrying 5 million barrels of oil a day for export.

If only the Saudis had joined the Abraham Accords. Instead they joined anti-Western jihad nations. Turkey and Pakistan, in the “Mecca Accords.” Did they help Saudi Arabia? *chucklefest

Pakistan said the Mecca Pact of mutual defense “doesn’t cover a pre-existing condition,” so it only covers wars started after the pact was signed. It also covers only state actors, not non-state actors.

Saudi Arabia should have joined the Abraham Accords. https://t.co/qgujibK5Fz

Oil prices jumped on the news.

NBC News: Saudi Arabia has closed a critical oil pipeline after it was struck by drones launched from Iraq, with the latest squeeze reverberating through the region Saturday as attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels threatened to deepen the world’s energy crisis. The 745-mile pipeline had helped Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, bypass the blocked Strait of Hormuz, through which some 20% of the world’s oil used to pass before the U.S. and Israel waged war on Iran in late February. The Saudi Energy Ministry confirmed the shutdown of the East-West pipeline Friday, adding that drone attacks had resulted in a number of injuries and that its teams were “taking the necessary measures to secure the pipeline and assess its safety.” … The pipeline has been moving between 4% and 5% of global oil supplies, Reuters reported Friday. … The Houthis also captured the historic port city of Mocha this week, followed by an advance on the strategic coastal town of Dhubab and the apparent withdrawal of forces from the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized Yemeni government from Perim, also known as Mayun. If the Houthis are able to threaten shipping along the Bab el Mandeb Strait, it could reduce oil supplies through another key waterway. Saudi Arabia has had to rely on the Red Sea route given the disruption to the Strait of Hormuz. (NBC News.)
