🇸🇦 Satellite imagery shows HUGE SCORCH MARKS on Saudi Arabia’s largest refinery Ras Tanura can process 550,000 barrels of oil a day, producing petrol, diesel and aviation fuel. It also sits beside a major oil export terminal. Houthis claimed a ballistic missile strike on Oct 27 that sparked fires but the extent of the damage and any impact on operations remain unconfirmed. Ras Tanura is a key part of the world’s oil export network. Any prolonged disruption could tighten fuel supplies and push oil prices higher as tensions rise. Writer: Bri

🚨Iran’s state TV says 7 tankers were struck or hit mines in Hormuz overnight. If that’s right, it’s the worst single day for shipping there since the war began. The IRGC says it hit 4 tankers that were transferring oil in the northern Gulf. It warns that US bases could be next if Washington keeps sending ships along what Iran calls an “illegal” route. Saudi Arabia is under fire too. Houthi strikes killed 2 people at the Shaybah oil field and two at Dammam airport. Aramco cleared its Dhahran headquarters after an alarm, and the US ordered some diplomats out of the country. Crude is still getting out. Morgan Stanley puts last week’s Middle East crude exports at about 17m b/d, roughly 94% of pre-war. Everyone is building a way around Hormuz. Aramco wants its East-West pipeline at 10m b/d and Iraq is tendering for tankers to move fuel oil out of the strait. Do not miss my article on it themerchantsnews.substack.co…

🇴🇲🇮🇷 Another tanker fire near Oman, and Iran's IRGC Navy couldn't be prouder. It claims it set 7 tankers on fire in just 24 hours, 4 during a ship-to-ship transfer and 3 on mines. They're announcing burning tankers like they just beat their HIGH SCORE. Writer: Julie
