Iran Strikes Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura Refinery, Shaking Global Oil Markets

Iran has reportedly attacked a major facility operated by Saudi Aramco in Ras Tanura, one of the largest oil refineries in the world, according to footage circulated by the Arabic-language Telegram channel NAYA. The reported strike has intensified concerns about the security of global energy infrastructure. Drone Strike Targets Strategic Energy Hub "Saudi Aramco is burning after bombardment by Iran,” the channel stated, publishing video that allegedly shows flames and smoke rising from the industrial complex. As a precautionary measure, operations at the refinery were temporarily suspended.
