it seems it was on a pumping station, not a direct hit on the pipeline maybe. i wonder if it’ll be that easy to restore it this time. anyway i guess as long as the houthis hold bab-el-mandeb it will be almost irrelevant now.

During the 2026 Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to non-Iranian vessels, it was converted to full capacity on 11 March 2026. After conversion, the amount of oil transferred using the Bab-el-Mandeb strait rose by 21% in comparison to February 2026, all of it bound to Asia. An Iranian drone attack on a pumping station reduced the throughput of the pipeline by 700,000 barrels per day (110,000 m3/d), as of 9 April. Less than three days later, on 12 April, Saudi Arabia announced that the pipeline had been restored to full capacity.
