Saudi Arabia closed 1,200km oil pipeline after drone attack

Saudi Arabia has closed a vital oil pipeline after drones launched from Iraq attacked it on Friday. Iraq admitted the attack originated in its Maysan province bordering Iran and removed a military commander. The 1,200km pipeline enables Saudi Arabia to circumvent the Strait of Hormuz, transporting approximately 4% to 5% of the world's oil supply.
