Overview
- Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry said Sunday that the East–West pipeline was back to about 7 million barrels per day after outages from recent strikes.
- Officials also reported the return of roughly 300,000 barrels per day from the Manifa field, while repairs at Khurais continue.
- The ministry previously detailed multiple attacks that hit production, transport, refining, petrochemicals, and parts of the power grid in Riyadh, the Eastern Province, and Yanbu.
- Analysts at JPMorgan estimated the initial damage equaled about 10% of pre‑war crude exports, calling it a measurable supply shock.
- Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed 21 hours of U.S.–Iran talks in Islamabad ended with no deal, a setback that keeps energy risks elevated as the pipeline—Aramco’s east‑to‑west artery to the Red Sea—helps bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
