A Saudi oil pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz is expected to restart “soon” after it is closed late last week following an attack, the United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright says.
Wright made the comment during a Monday appearance, according to Bloomberg and Yahoo News, which both report that the pipeline’s outage follows a strike on the infrastructure. The outlets do not provide additional operational details in their coverage, including the extent of damage, the specific repair timeline, or the scope of any production or export disruption.
Both reports frame the situation as an early step toward restoring supply through an alternate route away from Hormuz, while U.S. officials characterize the pipeline’s return as imminent. Other details about responsibility for the attack, investigative findings, or broader regional implications are not specified in these sources.
