Saudi could be staring at a complete disaster.
Yemen just bombed the hell out of Saudi's East-West crude oil pipeline.
This is Saudi's main bypass route around the Strait of Hormuz.
Production costs for nitrogen fertilizer plants in India, Europe, China and several countries will most likely get out of control now.
Because the Strait of Hormuz is also shut down.
Twenty minutes ago, Iran bombed 4 oil tankers in the Hormuz.
Yemen now controls the city of Mocha.
All the islands controlling the Bab El Mandeb have also been conquered.
This means Saudi's exports are going to take a brutal hit.
Farmers in several countries will most likely struggle to afford nitrogen fertilizer now.
Wheat, rice and maize yields could fall drastically.
Higher diesel prices could also make irrigation and harvesting unaffordable.
This means millions of people could starve in the next two years.
Including the upper middle class.
The whole world could be looking at something catastrophic.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline has suffered catastrophic damage in at least 8 locations, per initial reports citing diplomatic channels.
This comes after satellite data showed a fire burning along the pipeline route southeast of Medina with a black smoke plume +100 km long, and consistent with the multiple heat anomalies NASA FIRMS recorded along the same stretch.

BREAKING: YEMEN’S HOUTHIS HAVE LIKELY STRUCK SAUDI ARABIA’S EAST-WEST PIPELINE — potentially hitting THE LAST MAJOR OIL EXPORT ROUTE BYPASSING HORMUZ, with satellite imagery showing THICK PLUMES OF SMOKE and an extreme thermal signature along the pipeline.
This suggests PIPELINES ARE NOT A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO HORMUZ — when the routes designed to bypass the chokepoint can also be targeted.
Brent crude futures are now trading around $108.85 PER BARREL and it's about to increase more.
BREAKING: Saudi Arabia says its crude oil production has fallen to its lowest level since 1990 amid the Iran War.
Today, Saudi Arabia notified OPEC that its production declined by 1.9 million barrels per day, to a total of 6.2 million barrels per day.
Provisional tanker-tracking data also shows that Saudi crude exports plunged ~40% in August, from 5.1 million to 3.1 million barrels per day.
Brent crude oil prices are now above $108/barrel.

HOUTHIS HIT ARAMCO FACILITY AT PORT OF JIZAN — ENTIRE SITE BURNING
Right before the US elections. Right after the East-West Pipeline strike. Right after Saudi admitted production is at 1990 lows.
The world is on fire. Fertilizer, petrochemicals, transport costs — all spiking. Food prices will follow. In a few months, people will starve.
Saudi Arabia finds itself in a catastrophic situation.
With the latest strike on the Abqaiq-to-Yanbu pipeline—which served as the last remaining route for oil exports following the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—Saudi Arabia has essentially ceased exporting oil;
Furthermore, it has already applied for a massive loan from the World Bank due to its dire economic state.
The fall of the Bab al-Mandab Strait into Houthi hands represents yet another disaster of unprecedented proportions for the Saudis, who were already seeing 50% of their ships attacked and blocked.
It is truly baffling to imagine how they will extricate themselves from this quagmire they have plunged into.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia announces a full shutdown of its East-West crude oil pipeline, which was attacked in multiple locations across the Riyadh and Madinah regions on Thursday morning, with the damage being addressed, per the Ministry of Energy.
This comes as initial reports from diplomatic channels say the pipeline has suffered catastrophic damage in at least 8 locations, after satellite data showed a fire burning along the pipeline route southeast of Medina with a black smoke plume now 115 km long.
The pipeline, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz, has a capacity of 7 million barrels per day. Nothing is now moving through it.

Saudi Arabia decided not to retaliate for the attacks on its main pipeline.After drone attacks, the East-West pipeline was shut down, closing the only substantial oil export route besides the Strait of Hormuz (blocked by Iran).
The Saudi government clarified: “The Kingdom clarifies that, following a request from the prime minister of Iraq to give the brotherly Iraqi government the opportunity to take the necessary measures to prevent attacks launched from Iraqi territory against Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries, the Kingdom has opted not to respond at this stage and to support the efforts of the Iraqi government.”The attacks were carried out not by the Houthis, as many expected, but by rebel groups from Iraq aligned with Iran.
Saudis are squeezed from all sides. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz; Iran’s rebel groups in Iran shut down their East-West pipeline (temporarily at least). Meanwhile the Houthis are pushing out Saudi proxies in Yemen, seizing the Red Sea coast and taking control of a major global shipping route.
This is unsustainable for the Saudis, they are calling Trump now and ask for intervention. Donald will have to do something, he can’t just abandon the Saudis … but what?

Saudi under attack.
Yemen is now bombing the hell out of Sharurah for the second straight day.
Two restaurants, a command and control center and three weapons depots are on fire.
17 people have been killed.
Houthis claim these strikes are in response to MBS asking Trump to bomb them.
Trump has declined all of these requests.
But Israel has now stepped up to assist Saudi forces in striking Yemen.
A special team from Israel is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia on the 27th of this month to work on priority targets in Yemen.
Yemen has warned that it will shut down the Bab el Mandeb to the entire world if they are attacked by Israel or the US.
This could lead to a deadly global depression.

Saudi Arabia is under attack and the American military is ONLY GIVEN ADVICE.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THE TRUMP/S…
Nobody needs friends like Trump. His loyalty is a one-way street.
Reportedly, Explosions rock Shirurah
Flames rise at the targeted location: weapons depots, command and control rooms.
This precise strike
that hit the rear of the Saudi airbase resulted from precise intelligence information as well, indicating that it coincided with the arrival of a shipment of aviation munitions, such that it caused this massive explosion

GETTING READY TO INVADE SAUDI ARABIA?
There are an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 princes in Saudi Arabia, belonging to the broader ruling House of Saud. (They don’t fight.) MBS & the House of Saud depend on hired mercenaries and Pakistani pilots for security. They have no military willing to become martyrs for the Saudi Kingdom.
Even if the United States wanted to help; our military is broke, busted, deflated, demoralized, distressed, and out of weapons (defensive and offensive), we have no airstrips to launch flights, and our battleships must remain 1200 miles away to avoid being sank by Iranian hypersonic ballistic anti-ship missiles that are unstoppable.
The only place we can launch from is Israel. Iranians are the MASTERS OF “STRATEGIC PATIENCE.” They have eliminated all other options. So that, as soon as we attack from Israel, it will be the END OF THE PLACE FORMERLY KNOWN AS ISRAEL. AND THE BIRTH OF NEW PALESTINE.

The Saudis confirm the attack on their pipeline came from Iraq. Which means that, from a Saudi perspective:
1. Hormuz - their export route to the North - is closed by a war with Iran that the US-Israel started
2. Their pipeline to the South was taken offline from Iraq, a country the US broke with another war it started
3. They're fighting - and losing - against the Houthis in Yemen, whose war against them restarted because of the US-Israel war with Iran
4. The US is obviously incapable to defend them against these attacks and is now apparently flat-out refusing to intervene in Yemen (axios.com/2026/09/11/hou…)
5. They are bleeding money at an accelerating rate and, ironically, we may soon see an "inverted petrodollar" situation whereby, instead of recycling oil profits into US Treasuries, they'll be forced to sell them to cover oil losses caused by US wars
All in all, hard to overstate what a complete clusterfuck this represents.
The US is supposedly running "operation economic outcast" on Iran but, very concretely, the Saudis are getting at least as badly "outcasted" as the Iranians in just about every dimension.
And, unlike Iran, Saudi Arabia isn't structurally built to survive this. They bet their country's future on trusting America...
