Saudi Arabia Restores Oil Pipeline

The restoration of the pipeline provides a critical alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently under a U.S. naval blockade.

Output from the offshore Manifa facility has also been restored, though work continues at the Khurais onshore complex.

The move is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to maintain global oil supply levels despite the ongoing regional conflict.

However, energy experts warn that the increased reliance on the Red Sea route could create new security risks as tensions between global powers continue to rise.
