First There Was A Ceasefire Then There Was No Ceasefire Then There Was*

 *Paraphrased from 'There Is A Mountain by Donavan'

 

We started the news day here in Britain with an announcement from Donald Trump that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an immediate "energy ceasefire", without providing details of its terms - here's what we know

At the time it was reported that Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky indicated he would support the ceasefire, adding "it is important that Russia support it as well"; there was no immediate comment from Russia.

But Zelensky has since denied any knowledge of the deal and accused Russia of striking energy facilities after Trump claimed a deal had been done. The Russian attack hit a major facility with glide bombs and drones on a power plant near Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv  in the country’s second city of Kharkiv, despite the surprise truce announced earlier in the day.

Meanwhile Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a fresh attack on Saudi Arabia;s Riyadh airport on Sunday, the second attack in two days after hitting the airport o Saturday killing, 13 and wounding more than 300 people at the hub.

An “unidentified projectile” struck Terminal 4 of the King Khalid International Airport, causing a fire, the ‌Saudi-led official government of  Yemen ( said, adding that air defences had also downed a cruise missile nearby.

Footage from inside the airport showed a scene of chaos, with alarms sounding as people hurried to escape. Debris was littered across the floor and a large smoke plume billowed from the roof of the building.

Saudi authorities confirmed that Sunday’s attack “resulted in injuries”, but did not specify how many.

And on the other side of the Arab peninsula the Iranian Republican Guard (IRGC,) attacked another tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, which brings the total number to at least two or possibly as many as three suffering damage in the last 24 hours, chiefly from sea mines.

A slew of videos showing tankers striking mines have emerged on social media over the weekend, at a moment attacks on international vessels by Iranian forces are surging to wartime highs..

ANYONE ELSE GET THE FEELING WE ARE IN FOR A ROUGH FEW DAYS?

What If The Global Oil Crisis Is About To Get Really Serious

 

We're in an oil crisis, with oil and gas supplies from Russia not available because of sanctions related to the war in Ukraine, The Strait of Hormuz, through which oil and gas from the Persian Gulf region must pass, effectively closed (no matter what the propaganda says,) and the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Houthis threatening to deny oil shipped from the Saudi's Red Sea oil ports to western markets. The Houthis control the Bab al Mandab strait at the entrance to The Red Sea. 

We have reported on Ukraine's sabotage of Russia's Nordstream pipeline, Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis before but what if the global it is about to get much, much worse?

We are not talking about another $10 per barrel rise in the cost of crude oil but a genuine global energy emergency, where oil reaches $150 or even $200 a barrel, physical shortages begin shutting down meaningful portions of the global economy, and central banks find themselves confronting an inflationary recession.

Global crude oil consumption is roughly 100 million barrels per day. That oil powers cars, trucks, trains, agricultural equipment, factories, and enormous portions of the world’s air, and marine transport and industrial infrastructure. It also provides the raw materials for plastics, chemicals, packaging, and countless manufactured products. And Natural Gas is the main fuel for electricity generating plant in many of the largest economies.

Under normal circumstances, this gigantic system operates almost invisibly. Oil is pumped out of the ground, loaded onto tankers or moved through pipelines, delivered to refineries, and transformed into the fuels and materials that keep the global economy functioning.

If oil cannot be transported from Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States via The Red Sea or Hormuz to a refinery in Europe or Asia, or if a refinery cannot obtain the particular crude it needs, that supply effectively disappears from the market until the problem is resolved.

The Saudi authorities said they intercepted two missiles targeting Riyadh, a day after they said Houthi strikes on airports in the kingdom killed three people. 
 
Oil prices rose sharply on Thursday (October 8), with Brent crude, the global benchmark, up more than 5 percent as explosions were reported in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Thursday as the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen claimed to have attacked the city’s international airport for the second time this week. 

The targeting of Riyadh has raised pressure on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto leader, to resolve the escalating conflict as the fighting threatens his plans to turn the country into a business and tourism hub. Riyadh is set to host several international events in the coming weeks, including an annual investment summit hosted by Prince Mohammed that is typically attended by world leaders, billionaires and top global executives.

 

The situation in all major markets os volatile, only yestrday (Wednesday,) oil pricesfell President Trump just issued a new Truth Social Post Thursday just after noon time (eastern), wherein he declared "we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections" in November. This is quite bizarre as oil trades are not based on stocks of extracted oil, but contracts to buy oil that will not be extracted for months.

Now should Trump restart his campaign against Iran and the Irainians show the kind of resilience they have to date not only will oil prices soar, supplies will be hit hard. And others may take advantage of the chaos to pursue their own agendas.  Turkey waiting ready and willing to fight Houthis. That brings in NATO. Trump say he will not attack Iran before midterms but that was before the Houthis attack on the Saudi capital. 

 And so the local wars become a regional war and may even escalate beyond that.

There certainly are plenty of signs of significant US escalations in Ukraine, in West Asia, and in Iran, possibly all three concurrently.  There cannot be many additional sanctions or economic warfare tactics left for Trump and NATO to use and those already applied have mostly backfired, with China and Inia having been the main beneficiaries as the sanctions have hit hardest on the nations that applied them.  But mostly the US / NATO plans have not done well.  The Ruble was supposed to be rubble by now and Russia was supposed to be out of men and missiles.  Iran was supposed to be a colony of Israel by now.  Even Palestine is still around. 

It look like being a blesk midwinter for many of us.

'New Threats' Prompted US Bombers To Leave RAF Fairford - Trump

The news yesterday that the USA had withdrawn all of its bombers from RAF Fairford, the scene of a rather bizarre (according to mainstream media reports,) security incident being investigated by counter-terror police.

An official statement from The Pentagon confirmed on Sunday that the bombers - thought to be about a dozen B-1s - had left the base, having been recalled back to their home stations in America.

US media reported a new threat led to the bombers being removed, which follows the incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three "suspicious vehicles" near the airbase. So far reports on the story in mainstream media have oscillated between a very poor parody of a Bond film and a Keystone Cops silent farce.

A short time ago President Trump said the US moved its bombers out of RAF Fairford because of new threats to the base.

Asked if there was a "specific threat" that led to the removal of the US bombers, Mr Trump replied: "Yeah I think we can say that.

"They didn't fly out by accident.

"There were some threats. And rather than tempting the enemy, we'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy. But why should we leave them there? So we moved them around a little bit. Not very far."

It comes after US secretary of state Marco Rubio said the removal of the US bombers was not directly connected to the arrests of five men near the base.

The incident has drawn particular attention because RAF Fairford has been used for US military operations involving Iran since Britain authorised Washington to conduct specific defensive operations from the base in March

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a foreign actor may have been involved, while Iran has denied any connection.

When Trump's War With Iran Reignites Will The Next Move Be Made By Washington, The Houthis In Yemen Or Putin?

 

America's war with Iran is not over and just about every commentator in mainstream r alternative news expect another large scale American attack just as soon as US President Trump thinks it politically expedient. Most of the speculation is currently that any such attack would only happen in mid to late November – i.e. after the US midterm election.

But why would Trump want to wait when he could use an attack as a tool in the election – to demonstrate decisiveness or whatever other political advantage he might gain from it.

Axios, a favourite news outlet for the White House public relations machine, today released this announcement:

Trump’s top national security aides meet secretly at Camp David on Iran, Yemen

President Trump’s top cabinet members huddled for hours at Camp David on Friday to discuss next steps in the Iran war and the Saudi-Houthi conflict in Yemen, three U.S. officials told Axios.

The highly unusual meeting was not announced by the Trump administration. The last time a similar meeting took place was in June 2025, just days before Israel went to war against Iran.
…
Among the other participants were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House envoy Steve Witkoff, CIA director John Ratcliffe and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

“Things were decided or at least deeply discussed,” one of the officials said, referring to the crisis in the Middle East.

The meeting appears to have been a genuine strategy discussion rather than a performative exercise. It could signal the beginning of planning a new attack that, before the election, would have to be decisive. There have however been none of military moves we would expect before a large operation. 

The meeting was discussed this morning by Nima Alkhorshid and Professor Marandi, an Iranian political analyst. Although the focus was more on the latest escalation in the conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the various possibilities as Trump plans his next moves against Iran were analysed. What Iraqi forces will now do was also mentioned. 

The main issue however seems to be Yemen and the real threat Ansarallah poses to the Takfiri Saudi regime. This has a direct bearing on the Iran conflict as the Houthi rebels in Yemen, funded and supplied by Iran, are currently in a position to control marine traffic in and out of The Red Sea via the Bab al Mandab strait. Further disruption of movement through that chokepoint on top of Iran's blockade of The Strait of Hormuz could have a catastrophic effect on the global economy. 

In the latter portion of Suliaman Ahmed’s chat with Davis, Yemen was deeply discussed. Saudi air force attacks are doing nothing to deter/halt Ansarallah advances on the ground that are moving quite rapidly in Yemen’s terrain, which as many are finally noting is very similar to Iran’s near Hormuz. Additional attacks by Yemen/Iran on Emirati oil facilities and Saudi Arabian facilities show there’s much more to this war than control of Hormuz–there must be product to move. Iran’s tactic of denying oil to the West if it is kept from exporting its oil, diesel and petrol (gasoline) is working very well, and Trump and his Gang’s continual spin cannot alter reality. The diesel price crisis within the west is a clear-cut case of Capitalist/BigOil gouging that is only now facing political opposition.

 It appears battlelines are being drawn as the conflict threatens to expand globally. Chinese and likely DPRK (North Korea) and CSTO (former Soviet states,) involvement in the recent changes to the BRICS system for cross border financial transfers as a rival to Swift  is an example. Some reliable insight into the thinking of Russia and China about the effects of this and the Ukraine conflict on the Eastern Mediterranean, West Asia and reconfiguration of governments would be useful too. 

It is difficult to see which way the conflict is going especially as Putin has this week warned NATO that any move against Russia's Baltic enclave, Kaliningrad, would incur serious, possibly nuclear consequences.  One last question being asked: What does Iran plan to do with the millions now volunteering for military duty; will their deployment be defensive, offensive or both?

Five Suspected Terrorists Arrested Outside RAF Fairford, An Airbase Used By U.S. Heavy Bombers For Strikes On Iran

By Arthur Foxake, 27 September 2026

UK authorities have apprehended five men on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack outside RAF Fairford, a British air base that also hosts US warplanes involved in strikes on Iran.

According to a statement by Gloucestershire Police Assistant Chief Constable Richard Ocone on Sunday, police received “a call relating to three suspicious vehicles travelling towards RAF Fairford.” The local media later described the vehicles as three white vans.

Officers arriving at the scene subsequently arrested five individuals near the village of Whelford “on suspicion of committing offences under the Explosives Act,” with Counter Terror Police investigating what officials characterised as a “major incident.”

Dr Antonio Giustozzi, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, later told reporters that the operation appeared to have been an attempted a suicide attack using several vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices. This suggests a type of attack typical of well known terror groups sponsored by the government of Iran

The BBC published an unverified photo (below) purportedly showing the arrested suspects sitting half-naked on the ground with their hands behind their backs and faces blurred.

 
Photo of suspects being arrested (unverified) - Credit:BBC News

A British Army bomb disposal unit was deployed to the scene to examine the vehicles, with approximately 85 households evacuated as a precaution, Ocone told reporters. Several British media outlets have carried what appears to be helicopter footage depicting a specialized wheeled robot operating near the vans.

Local residents who have nowhere else to stay have been provided temporary shelter inside a leisure center.

Commenting on the incident in a post on X, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged “people not to speculate while the authorities establish the full facts.”

Later on Sunday, Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Temporary Chief Constable Maggie Blyth gave an update, saying that the authorities believe the “matter to be contained.” However, she declined to reveal whether the police were looking for any more suspects.

Commenting on the incident President Donald Trump said those arrested had been "looking to do big damage", adding: "We had them under view for a long time, and we got them."

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said he had been in contact with his US counterpart, Pete Hegseth.

A USAF spokesperson said its personnel remained vigilant but did not discuss specific force protection methods.

The US Department of Defense meanwhile raised the threat level at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk - which hosts the USAF's 48th Fighter Wing - to its second-highest category.

Though this is being treated as a one off incident Bogart Blog sources report that UK security forces are braced for further attempts to attack U and US assets. It has long been known that among the thousands of illegal immigrants smuggled into England by small boats and other irregular modes of transport there have been an unknown number of people trained in terrorist warfare. Security services suspect these people have formed into terrorist cells distributed around the country. These re allegedly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Iran Is Again Willing To Talk About Opening The Strait Of Hormuz Maybe - But Only On Their Terms

Contributed by an Iranian student in UK who wishes to remain anonymous. (Editied for typos and grammar by Boggart Blog.)

 

It was reported this week that during talks at the recent session of the UN General Assembly Iran repeated its proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz:Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister, told reporters at a press briefing that the proposal closely mirrored the commitments laid out in a so-called memorandum of understanding that was struck between the United States and Iran in June but quickly unravelled. 

He said Iran was ready to begin putting the plan into effect as soon as Washington agreed to it.

“We have introduced a plan to the United States through the intermediators that if certain conditions are met, the Strait of Hormuz would be open on the end of the seventh day and talks would restart,” Mr. Araghchi said.

The offer is a return to the MoU which is then to be executed in a compressed timeframe:

Iranian officials said that while the proposal was effectively the same as the memorandum of understanding made in June, it was designed to move at a much faster pace. In the earlier agreement, a 60-day time frame was set for reaching nuclear negotiations.

Under the conditions that Iran has set for the agreement, according to Mr. Araghchi, during the seven days all hostilities would end, including in Lebanon; the U.S. would release Iran’s frozen assets — estimated at at least $12 billion — waive sanctions on Iranian oil and lift the naval blockade on Iran. Then, on the last day, the Strait of Hormuz would be opened.

Almost as soon as Washington had officially welcomed the proposal the Iranians denied having made it. However it seems the regime in Tehran is interested in resuming negotiations because Foreign Minister Araghchi has announced he will stay in New York until Monday, presumably to facilitate further talks.

It could be argued at this juncture that the USA and developed nations of the west need a settlement more urgently than Iran as disruption of marine traffic via Hormuz, through which a significant proportion of the world's oil and gas supplies flow is now causing fuel shortages and increasing living costs for western consumers. 

A lot of media and political attention is focused on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Aragchi’s performances in New York last week, based on the false assumption that they represent the actual position of the Iranian state. 

 This is simply not the case and that was made clear in Pezeshkian’s address to the BRICS group representatives last week.  That pair are more interested in being ‘friends’ with America than advancing the Islamist agenda of the theocratic regime..

Pezeshkian made a big speech on the topic of ensuring that BRICS nations can transfer international funds outside the SWIFT system so they cannot be sanctioned. In he speech he urged that every currency possible be brought into the system so that a foreign investor who wished to can invest in Iran’s businesses.
 
These developments suggest there is a rift in Tehran between secularists who want an end to the conflict so that normal trade relations with the rest of the world can resume and the Ayatollahs who remain as aloof and isolationist as ever.  Meanwhile the people many of who voted for Pezeshkian about 18 months ago, now disagree entirely and have learned at considerable cost, that Iran cannot possibly trust ‘the west’ especially the USA to do anything other than attack them and steal their resources.
 
The problem is the so-called ‘reformists’ who have maintained this contradictory position since the 1980’s as they have been seduced by wealth.  That is not the bulk of the people, the military or the religious authorities but government officials seduced by the prospect wealth to be had from corrupt corporate deals – same falsehoods as the rest of the world has faced since time immemorial. Trump certainly wants to gain control of Iran's oil and gas resources but another certainty is that little of the revenue to be earned from those resources is likely to filter down to mid - ranking state officials.
 
In Iran’s case the sell off has been prevented over the years by Ayatollah Khamenei and his supporters who believes that security comes from everyone in the region feeling secure, hence the work of the late General Solemani.

 To gain a better understanding of this mindset watch this documentary which sums up the post revolutionary history. Titled “Khamenei’s Last Move” and scripted by Jedaal TV’s founder Ali Alizadeh the video covers the political in-fighting Khamenei had to overcome to build Iran’s impregnable defenCes.

Houthis Warn West Against Supporting Saudi Arabia In Yemen’s Growing War

 

 

For a quarter of a century, the USA been telling us to wait for their war against Iran, and we have been telling them that Iran would win. Here we are and though Iran has not won yet they have successfully resisted US air attacks and lunched a few air strikes of their own that have cost the USA dearly. As conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and The Persian Gulf drag on could this be the tipping point that sets the world on a path to war?

And as anybody with more than one functioning brain cell would have predicted, Iran has weaponised The Strait Of Hormuz, the narrow sea passage at the entrance to The Persian Gulf through which around 25% of the world's petrochemicals (including oil and liquid petroleum gas must be moved by giant ships, vulnerable to attack by Iranian artillery batteries placed on the high ground of Iran's mountainous coastline overlooking the 20 mile wide strait.

Were that the full extent of the situation we could report that Trump's war on Iraq had ended embarrassingly for him, in stalemate. However over the past couple of weeks a new front has opened in the war as Iran backed Houthi militias have reignited a years old conflict with Saudi Arabia, attacked the east - west oil pipeline through which the Saudis had been diverting oil exports ftom the Gulf coast to the Red Sea.  

The Houthi, officially known as  Ansar Allah are warning western against joining Saudi Arabia in Yemen’s revived civil war, telling The Associated Press on Sunday that the group has assured the Trump administration that it won’t attack U.S. vessels in the Red Sea.

Mohamed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthis’ political bureau, said Washington reached out to the rebels after their rapid advance down Yemen’s western coast to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait earlier this month have then control of the route in and out of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea oil ports, the alternative route through the Suez Canal being unsuitable for the vast tankers which transport oil and gas.

The magnitude of this project is increased by the deteriorating situation for the western economies in Ukraine 

U.S. President Donald Trump last weekend said his administration has “had discussions” with the Houthis, but did not say when. “The Houthis called us, and they don’t want to fight with us,” he said. “They would much prefer not having us involved, and they’re letting most ships go through.” 

Others say the US Government has gone mad. 

The more we learn about the Houthis, the less surprising it becomes that the group should have embarrassed the US Navy in 2024 and 2025 (in a foretaste of the second Iran war, Washington simply gave up firing its expensive missiles at Houthi forces), and fought a large Sunni-Arab coalition to a standstill between 2015 and 2019. Despite intense bombardments, and serious battlefield defeats, the Houthis have retained Sana’a, Yemen’s capital which they conquered in 2014. 

Only the Israelis, who briefly got into a missile exchange with the Houthis in 2025, have managed to deter them: they went after the Houthis’ oil supplies, energy infrastructure, ports, airports, and, perhaps most important, senior personnel. Sure enough, the Houthis stopped firing at Israel. 

Either way, it’s little wonder that the Houthis are now back, seizing land along the Red Sea littoral and the islands of Perim and Greater and Lesser Hanish, thereby putting into jeopardy Saudi Arabia’s capacity to export oil via its east-west pipeline.

Without outside support, Sunni Yemenis would have had no chance on the battlefield against their Shi’ite countrymen. The Houthis have received some support from Hezbollah and Iran — but not nearly on the level that Sunnis have received from foreigners since the Sixties.

 Because of the long lasting conflict with the Saudis, Yemen has been one of the worst humanitarian catastrophies in the first quarter of this century.But the poorest Arabs are about to beat the richest, the nerve centre of Islamist terrorism all the way back to 9/11 and beyond. The Saudi alliance with Turkey and Pakistan has failed its first test, the allegation that Mecca and Medina were about to be bombed has been dismissed out of hand by an Islamic world that would have exploded if anyone had believed it.

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, Ansar Allah controls the Bab al-Mandab, and we either make peace with those facts, or we shiver and starve. This is called defeat, a common consequence of either backing the wrong side or interfering in matters that did not concern one. Never again let the trade unions or anyone else be accused of the latter when we involved ourselves in foreign policy. From the petrol pump to the pumping of blood, we pay the price.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow.

Prepare For Fuel Shortages And Cost Of Living Rises As Gulf War Spreads To The Red Sea

 

As the conflict between the USA and Iran flares up again arount the Strait of Hormuz, th vital marine passage through which most of the oil and petrolium products of the middle east must pass on the way to world markets, Yemeni  Houthi militias (Ansar Allah,) have seized the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces, military sources and witnesses say.

The Iran - aligned Houthi, who have taken control of most of Yemen's southern coast threatened that they would target vessels from Saudi Arabia, which has relied on the Red Sea for oil exports since the US and Israel's war with Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf  also forced troops of the Saudi backed official government of Yemen to withdraw from Perim island in the Bab al-Mandab Strait at the entrance to The Red Sea, effectively giving the Houthi forces control of the other main passage for Saudi oil.. 

Footage from the seized Bab el-Mandeb coast shows a Houthi fighter at Hisn Murad declaring “We don’t need missiles. We don’t need drones.” He says artillery along the Murad coast and on Perim will stop non-compliant vessels and “cut any and all shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb now,” and that the Houthis will dig in on Perim after seizing it.
This disruption to the two waterways is already affecting the price of oil and petrolum products and having a knock on effect on the prices consumers must pay for almost everything. 
 
Perim splits the strait at its narrowest point into two channels. The main shipping lane runs between Perim and the Djibouti coast, about 25 kilometers wide, and the smaller channel between Perim and the Yemeni mainland is under 3 kilometers. Yemen’s Houthis now hold the mainland shore and the island in the middle, putting both lanes inside the range of ground fire,  

The strait is the southern gateway to a key shipping route that links Asia and Europe via the Red Sea and Suez canal. However the canal cannot accommodate the million ton supertankers which now move the bulk of middle east oil and gas to the industrial and commercial centres of South East Asia, Europe and The Americas.

Ansar Allah controls the most important Mayyun Island in the Middle of Bab el-Mandeb and Dhubab, a small coastal town in the Taiz Governorate of southwestern Yemen, after al-Mocha. Ansar Allah controls approximately 8.1 million barrels per day crossing Bab el-Mandeb, 8% of global LNG trade and 30% of global container traffic, according to the World Bank. 
 
No Israeli or Saudi ships are being allowed through Bab el-Mandeb. 

What makes this latest development more serious is the Houthis display an extremely high degree of organizational cohesion that is very rare in the Muslim world. The Houthis currently control a population of around 20 million in Yemen (the internationally recognised government is in exile in Saudi Arabia,) yet they are able to field an army of several hundred thousand to one million. This army is highly combat-effective. The soldiers are driven by religious conviction or in many cases fanaticism, and willpower 

It has now been confirmed that the crucial 'Hormuz bypass' East-West oil pipeline through which the Saudis had been pumping iol from the fields on the Persian Gulf coast, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates across Saudi Arabia to ports on the Red Sea has been hit by Houthi artillery and is on fire at a point about 80km to 100km from town of Al Mesba'ah.

Amid speculation that the attack is another Houthi strike on Saudi Arabia's oil trade, CNN in a new Friday report cites two US officials who've given confirmation that the pipeline was struck by projectiles on late Thursday. These reports suggested the missiles which damaged the pipeline originated in Iran although unconfirmed reports say the missiles mat have been launched by Tehran backed groups in Iraq. According to the report:

An early analysis found that pump stations, which are located next to the pipeline itself, were hit, one of the US officials said. A satellite image taken Friday appears to show extensive fire damage at one pumping station, and an image of a different pumping station, taken Thursday, showed a small fire sending up plumes of thick, black smoke.

With the pipeline still burning it is impossible to estimate how repairs to the might take. Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz, though not officially closed is carrying about ten per cent of its usual traffic levels.
