Iranian drone attacks on neighboring countries in response to attacks by the United States and Israel have reached oil. In Saudi Arabia, one of the largest refineries has stood up.
"Saudi Aramco has suspended the operation of its oil refinery in Ras Tanur, Saudi Arabia, after a drone strike," Bloomberg reports, citing sources.
The plant is one of the largest in Saudi Arabia and is capable of processing 550 thousand barrels per day.
"The plant, located on the Persian Gulf coast, was stopped on Monday as a precautionary measure while Aramco assesses the damage," the sources told Bloomberg. According to them, the fire at the facility is under control.
As EADaily reported, the first oil trading began after the attacks of the United States and Israel on Iran, and so far the raw materials have risen in price very moderately. By 11.00 Moscow time, quotes do not exceed $ 80. This is attributed to the fact that the parties refrained until recently from strikes on the oil infrastructure. At the same time, Iran announced that it had opened the Strait of Hormuz, through which up to 20% of the world's oil passes, although most ships are still afraid to pass through it.
