Despite Saudis claiming a ballistic missile interception, footage shows a fire at the SAMREF refinery in Yanbu allegedly hit with a drone, in western Saudi Arabia. This is one of 2 major remaining export routes for Persian Gulf Arab oil after Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports from Arab media is that the US embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by 3 Iranian drones. Another vital piece of infrastructure gone. Furthermore, this is a direct attack on US soil. The US embassy is sovereign US soil.

IRAN JUST HIT THE LARGEST OIL EXPORT TERMINAL ON EARTH AND THIS TIME THERE IS NO PROXY TO BLAME A Shahed-136 drone struck Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura refinery on March 2, igniting a fire that was quickly contained according to Reuters and Bloomberg citing industry sources. Saudi Aramco shut down the entire facility as a precautionary measure. No casualties were reported. The Saudi Defence Ministry confirmed it intercepted drones targeting the site, with debris causing the ground fire per The Hindu. Ras Tanura processes 550,000 barrels per day. It is one of the largest oil refining and export complexes on the planet. And Iran just hit it with a $30,000 drone. On September 14, 2019, drones and cruise missiles struck Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq processing facility and Khurais oil field, temporarily halving Saudi output by 5.7 million barrels per day. The Houthis claimed responsibility. The United States, Saudi Arabia, and European intelligence agencies concluded Iran orchestrated the attack. Tehran denied involvement. The proxy shield held. No retaliation followed. Oil spiked 15% on Monday, then unwound within two weeks as production resumed. That playbook is dead. In 2026, Iran is launching strikes against Saudi territory under its own flag as part of Operation True Promise 4. The IRGC is simultaneously hitting nine countries. There is no Houthi intermediary absorbing attribution. There is no plausible deniability. Iran struck Ras Tanura, and every intelligence agency, every oil trader, and every Saudi military commander knows exactly who launched the drone, from which territory, under whose orders. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spent eight years building Vision 2030 around a single premise: that Saudi Arabia could diversify away from oil dependence while maintaining the kingdom’s security through a combination of American protection and regional de-escalation with Iran. MBS authorized backchannel normalization with Tehran through China in 2023. The Saudi-Iran detente was the centerpiece of Gulf stability. That detente just burned on the tarmac at Ras Tanura. Saudi Arabia has not been a co-belligerent in Operation Epic Fury. Riyadh did not participate in strikes on Iran. Saudi airspace may have been used for overflight, and Saudi air defenses are intercepting Iranian ordnance, but the kingdom has deliberately avoided offensive operations. The reward for that restraint is an Iranian drone on the crown jewel of Saudi economic infrastructure. Now stack the arithmetic. The Strait of Hormuz is functionally closed, sealing 15 million barrels per day. Ras Tanura’s 550,000 barrels per day is offline. Kuwait International Airport was struck. Jebel Ali port in the UAE showed smoke on satellite. Brent crude already surged 9% to $79.45 per barrel per Bloomberg before this strike was reported. Ras Tanura was not on the market’s pricing model. The market priced Hormuz disruption. The market priced Gulf airspace closure. The market did not price Iran directly attacking Saudi refining capacity because the market assumed Saudi neutrality provided protection. Saudi neutrality provided a target. Monday morning’s crude open will reprice everything written above. And Riyadh will answer a question MBS has avoided for three years: does Saudi Arabia enter this war, or absorb the next drone?

🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱🇶🇦🇸🇦 Israel crossed Iran's energy red line by striking the South Pars gas field, and now both sides are torching each other's energy infrastructure across the Gulf. Iran fired back at Israel's Haifa refinery, Qatar's Ras Laffan (the world's largest LNG plant), plus refineries in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Israel went after facilities that produce 730 million cubic meters of gas daily. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively dead. Traffic dropped 96% in the first 18 days of war, from thousands of transits to just 98. Saudi Arabia is now desperately pumping oil west through pipelines to Yanbu on the Red Sea to bypass the strait. If Iran hits Yanbu, analysts say 5-6 million barrels a day disappear from global markets and oil could hit $150. Brent crude has already jumped from the $70s to $115 since the war started. Every major energy facility that gets hit pushes prices higher. This is now a global energy crisis that's about to slam inflation and interest rates worldwide. Source: Wall Street Journal

WATCH: HOUTHI STRIKE ON ARAMCO FACILITIES — JIZAN, SAUDI ARABIA. So much for the new defense pact. Just one month ago, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, declaring that an armed attack on one would be considered an attack on all three. Today, Iran-backed Houthis launched a major missile and drone assault on Saudi Arabia, striking energy infrastructure including Aramco’s Jazan refinery. At least 73 people were wounded across the attacks and some energy operations were temporarily halted. Pakistan condemned the attack. But where is the “joint defense”? Where is Turkey? What exactly was that piece of paper worth? And there’s another international angle: while the refinery itself belongs to Aramco, the massive integrated gasification and power complex serving it is jointly owned by Aramco, U.S.-based Air Products, Saudi ACWA Power and Air Products Qudra. Iran’s proxies are hitting critical regional energy infrastructure. The question now is whether Saudi Arabia’s new allies intend to do anything beyond issuing statements.

🚨 BREAKING: GULF POWERS EDGE CLOSER TO WAR WITH IRAN Saudi Arabia and the UAE are now moving toward joining the conflict, according to reports. This follows repeated Iranian attacks on Gulf energy and infrastructure — forcing a response. Key developments: • Saudi Arabia allowing U.S. access to strategic air bases • UAE considering major action against Iranian assets • Both nations signalling their patience is running out This is the turning point. If Saudi Arabia and the UAE step in fully… This is no longer a contained conflict. It becomes a regional war with global consequences: Oil supply Shipping routes Energy markets worldwide The line is being crossed — slowly, but clearly. And once it is… There’s no going back.

#BREAKING: During the latest Iranian ballistic missile salvo a direct impact occurred at an oil refinery in #Haifa, Israel. Smoke can be seen rising from the site. This is a massive escalation in the war. Bazan’s Haifa refinery is Israel’s largest refinery and a critical energy asset. It has a maximum refining capacity of about 197,000 barrels per day and, in Q1 2025, produced roughly 60% of the diesel and 48% of the gasoline used for transportation in Israel. Israel has two operating refineries: Bazan in Haifa and the Ashdod refinery.

Another of the largest refineries in Russia has shut down after a drone attack. The Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery (Rostov Region, with a capacity of 5 million tons per year) ceased operations due to equipment damage from a drone strike on December 25th. According to Reuters, both primary oil processing units were shut down - this is already the second refinery to completely shut down in December. The Novoshakhtinsk Refinery became the sixth facility attacked by drones this month. In November, Ukrainian drones struck at least 14 oil refineries - a new record.

💢🇸🇦🇾🇪 REPORT | Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Ansar Allah traded fire Monday in an escalation that shatters a years-long truce, as the Saudi-led coalition aircraft struck Sanaa International Airport and the Yemeni group retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in return. 🔸Ansar Allah said Saudi warplanes hit the runway at Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, at 1:54 p.m. to close the airport to humanitarian flights carrying patients and stranded people. Yemen’s Saudi-backed government said the strike was meant to stop an Iranian Mahan Air flight from landing without Saudi authorization. The plane was eventually diverted to Hodeidah, a port on Yemen’s Red Sea coast. 🔸In response, Ansar Allah said it fired missiles and drones across the border at Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia (see video), an operation it said “successfully achieved its objectives.” 🔸The coalition claimed its air defenses intercepted all missiles and there were no immediate reports of casualties, though explosions were reported by military monitoring accounts in the Saudi cities of Abha, near the Yemeni border, and Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast some 400 miles north. 🔸Ansar Allah warned airlines against flying over Saudi airspace until the “unjust blockade” on Sanaa is lifted, and thanked Iran for operating flights to the airport. A UN-backed ceasefire had largely frozen the conflict since the coalition intervened in 2015.

🚨 BREAKING: GLOBAL ENERGY SHOCK: IRAN STRIKES SAUDI OIL HEARTLAND One of the most important oil facilities on the planet — Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura refinery — has reportedly been hit. Fires. Shutdowns. Export disruption. This isn’t just another strike. This is an attack on the world’s energy lifeline. Ras Tanura is the artery through which vast amounts of global oil flows to Europe and Asia. If that artery is threatened, the economic consequences ripple across the entire planet — fuel prices, markets, supply chains, everything. The conflict has now crossed a dangerous threshold. This is no longer regional escalation. This is global economic warfare. Stand by.

"Do not film Ukrainian attacks or post them," Russian authorities said. Seems like these employees are enjoying it? Today, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Yaroslavl-3 oil pumping station near Semibratovo in Russia’s Yaroslavl region. Yesterday, the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery in Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod region, was struck. It is one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, with a processing capacity of around 17 million tons of oil per year.

🇮🇷🇮🇶 Loitering drones just hit the Lanaz oil refinery west of Erbil, setting it ablaze. The drone struck refinery installations directly, sending flames and thick black smoke into the sky as petroleum materials ignited. Lanaz is owned by the Barzani family the ruling dynasty of Iraqi Kurdistan worth over $1 billion, 80,000 barrels a day. It joins a growing list. Iran already put Kheibar Shekan missiles into the Haifa refinery in occupied Palestine in direct retaliation for Israeli strikes on Tehran’s oil depots. Before that Bahrain’s BAPCO refinery, Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia, Ruwais in Abu Dhabi. Lest we forget the Strait of Hormuz handles 20-30% of global fertilizer exports and 35% of global urea exports. Urea prices are already up 35% since February 28. A third of global seaborne fertilizer passes through Hormuz and it’s spring planting season right now in the Northern Hemisphere.

🚨The energy crisis triggered by the Persian Gulf conflict is accelerating the shift to a multipolar world. 🇷🇺🇨🇳Russia and China are building a parallel energy system less dependent on Western finance, shipping, and payments. This accelerates de-dollarization through energy trade in national currencies, energy economist Dr Kazi Sohag told Sputnik. 🔸China is becoming the Global South’s main guarantor of energy security through its dominance in green technologies — solar, batteries, EVs, grids, and storage. 🔸Via the Belt and Road Initiative, China offers complete turnkey solutions — hardware, financing, construction, and rapid deployment — at prices and scale the West cannot match. 🔸Amid global scarcity, Russian oil becomes far more attractive, strengthening their bargaining power with India, China, and other major buyers. This weakens Western sanctions as importers prioritize physical supply over compliance. 🔸The energy crisis exposed Western vulnerability to physical supply shocks and the limits of sanctions, proving that financial power alone cannot guarantee energy security. 🔸As a result, Russia strengthens its role as a key hydrocarbon supplier, while China accelerates its leadership in clean energy. Together, they are speeding up multipolarity by encouraging countries to diversify away from exclusive Western systems.
