Saudi Aramco Halts Oil Operations Following Iran's Drone Strike by fergie001(op): 9:53am On Mar 02

Saudi Aramco has halted operations at its Ras Tanura refinery in Saudi Arabia after a drone strike in the area, according to people familiar with the matter.

The refinery, among the largest in Saudi Arabia, can process 550,000 barrels of crude per day. The plant located on the Persian Gulf was shut down earlier Monday as a precaution as Aramco assess damage, the people familiar with developments said, asking not to be named because the information is not yet public. A blaze at the site was under control, they said.

Aramco’s media office did not have an immediate comment, while Saudi Arabia’s Government did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Aramco's Ras Tanura Refinery Is One of the World's Largest

Crude oil in London was trading 9.7% higher after hostilities in the Middle East started over the weekend with the US and Israel attacking Iran and Tehran firing hundreds of missiles and drones at countries around the region in retaliation. An attack on major energy infrastructure is a nightmare scenario for oil markets with maritime traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz already all but halting as tensions escalate.

Iran is so lost it’s now attacking another Muslim country. Whatever happened to the ummah? Keep isolating yourselves and making enemies, eventually Israel will wipe out the regime.😂

Iran’s economy is expected to bear the greatest impact in the aftermath of the war.
A terrorists country indeed angry

Trump must have prevailed on those country not to revenge...Iran is acting crazy and this is the very reason the world shouldn't allow them to have a nuclear weapon...they should limit their attacks to isreal and America bases ,not on their neighbours who had no part in the ongoing military operation in their country....indiscriminate launch of missiles doesn't show strength rather it's show panic mood and restlessness

Nigeria will benefit from this, but unfortunately it won't benefit the common man.

The price of fuel will even increase for us.


Nigeria is for the APC politicians, the common man has nothing to gain, even the tribalists forming my brother is the president, won't still benefit anything o.

Your brother is the president? Go Aso Rock and tell them you want to see your brother na? If they open gate for you make I bend.. brother fire grin

You left your aggressor and instead resort to attacking your innocent Arab neighbours? Is that not the height of cowardice and irresponsibility?
Re: Saudi Aramco Halts Oil Operations Following Iran's Drone Strike by IgOga(m): 10:02am On Mar 02
Iran is a rogue state. Imagine them with nuclear weapons. Dubai, European capitals will all be gone now.

Now that they are showing the world their madness the regime is on a loosing path

US and Israel are not fighting Iran


They are fighting the Islamic regime in Iran.

They are only bombing Iran's military installations and Iran Islamic government key offices while making sure no or minimal civilian casualty while Iran is just throwing missiles all over the place lol.


If they come out to fight Iran as a whole, by now, the entire Iran will be ashes and the entire world crying and shivering without doing anything than shiver in fear shocked

This is what the US always warned about. Intelligence has shown that these guys are not normal. They believe the world must be in chaos for their Mahdi to come and they must bring the chaos. Hence their pursuit of nuclear weapons. They want to cause carnage in the world and in that chaos they believe their messiah will come. Some very twisted satanic ideology.

Oli price will go up, we will still not be able to take advantage, because we never met our production quota. Hope Dangote will not be exporting to Saudi now. We playing with World War III. grin grin angry grin angry

Why are you guys so angry with Iran?
I mean, I understand that we are all pro west these days, but for the sake of honest discussions, why is it hard for Nigerians to see that what the west is doing in Isreal is nothing but a power grab?

But you mean people that level a whole country,killing civilians,ganging up against one country and killing president of a country are not rogue states ?

So if you're attacked ,you will not defend yourself?

About 50% of the entire US Airpower is dedicated to the operation.
I hope you understand what that means, because to get that 50%, they need to withdraw from several engagements
