New satellite imagery released by channels affiliated with the Shiite axis reveals damage to pumping stations 8 and 9 and the Red Sea receiving terminal of Saudi Aramco's strategic East-West Pipeline, according to analysis. The images confirm precise strikes aimed at disrupting oil flow, despite Iranian-aligned channels exaggerating the extent of damage.
Newly published satellite imagery, shared by channels aligned with the Shiite axis, provides visual confirmation of damage to critical infrastructure along Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline. The analysis shows burn marks and scorching at pumping stations 8 and 9, as well as the Red Sea receiving facility, consistent with precision strikes intended to disrupt oil flow to the Yanbu terminal.
The East-West Pipeline, a 1,200‑km artery that allows Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, has been targeted in recent weeks by drones launched from Iraq, as The Zioneer previously reported. While Tehran‑aligned channels describe the damage as "total destruction," the satellite imagery indicates localized, targeted hits rather than wholesale demolition. The extent of operational disruption and repair timelines remain unconfirmed.
