Oil Prices to Double?! | Saudi Arabia Shuts Pipeline as Houthis Seize Red Sea | Sanskriti IAS #OilPrices #SaudiArabia #Houthi #RedSea #BabElMandeb #MiddleEastCrisis #OilCrisis #EnergyMarkets #Yemen #GlobalOilPrices #Geopolitics #RedSeaCrisis #GlobalOil #EnergySecurity #OilMarket #India #viralnews #upscprelims2027 #latestnews #currentaffairsanalysis #sanskritiias 👉The Middle East oil crisis just got a lot more serious. Saudi Arabia has shut down its critical East-West pipeline after a drone attack, while Houthi rebels have effectively seized full control of Yemen's Red Sea coastline — sending global oil prices surging past $100 per barrel. ✅ Why Saudi Arabia shut its 745-mile East-West pipeline ✅ The drone attack traced to Iraq-based Iranian-backed militias ✅ Houthis capture strategic Perim island at Bab el-Mandeb Strait ✅ How this connects to the wider US-Iran war & Strait of Hormuz disruptions ✅ Why Saudi Arabia has asked Washington for military help ✅ What this means for global oil prices & your fuel costs 📌The East-West pipeline, with a capacity of 7 million barrels per day, was Saudi Arabia's key workaround for bypassing the Strait of Hormuz shipping logjam. With both the Hormuz and Red Sea/Bab el-Mandeb routes now under severe strain, energy markets on both sides of the Arabian Peninsula are being squeezed simultaneously. Saudi Arabia has so far held off retaliation at Iraq's request, but has requested US military assistance against the Houthis. 📌 Don’t forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe ---------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 Sanskriti IAS 𝐀𝐩𝐩 𝐧𝐨𝐰: https://bit.ly/394fDnq ✅ For pdf Visit #sanskritiias Telegram Channel: https://t.me/sanskritiias ✅ WhatsApp Channel: https://shorturl.at/oN347 ✅ For Any Query, Request a Call Back: https://shorturl.at/oQV01 / 9555-124-124 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media: 👇 ✅ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐦 :   / sanskritiias   ✅ 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 :   / sanskritiias   ✅ 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 :   / sanskritiias   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Our Important Playlists: 👇 ✅ UPSC Current Affairs 2026-27 (Dr. Ravi Agrahari Sir): https://bit.ly/4dSac9U ✅ Current Affairs Analysis 2026: https://bit.ly/49MrToX ✅ The Hindu Newspaper Analysis - https://bit.ly/43omUqM ✅ Classroom Moments: https://tinyurl.com/yerx22k4 ✅ UPSC Result 2025 (Mock Interview): https://bit.ly/4uZRLpF ✅ Strategy: https://bit.ly/34v3Iga ✅ Target Upsc Pre - 2026: https://bit.ly/4fHUhss ---------------------------------------------------------------- Address: 👇 📍Delhi Centre-👇 636, Ground Floor, Dr. Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi – 110009 📍Prayagraj Centre-👇 1/1/8A Stanley Road, Maharana Pratap Chauraha, Civil Lines, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh - 211002 Contact Us 👉: +91 95551 24124 / +91 74280 85757 Visit Our Website 👉: www.sanskritiias.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- #upsc #upsc2026 #currentaffairs #upscprelims2026 #civilservices #gs #prelims #mains #interview #ias #ips #competitiveexams #thehinduanalysis #govtjobs #sanskritiias #viralnews #trandingnews #latestnews #dailycurrentaffairs
