Now this is the kind of problem solving that wins. Good for them. Strangle Iran.

Quite the interesting development...
Render the Strait of Hormuz irrelevant.

It’s a soft target though. Stretches across the country. Can be taken back offline at any time with a single drone.

I don’t think Saudi Arabia is going to take any cr** from Iran.

Good thing Iran’s missile launching ability has been decimated and their drone fleet destroyed.

I cannot fathom how this is a solution. Yemen is a terrorist client of Iran, and the Houthis will have a field day.

This pipeline was there always, but was damaged by Iran just few days ago.
It helps, but unfortunately, it cannot replace the shipping through the straights.

Maybe we should surrender to the Iranians.

True it is, just ask the Russians, but nothing new just the method, sabotage has been around for centuries and counter measures need to be taken

WTS, your quick negative reaction seems curious

And by Saudi Arabia they mean an American company with American Engineers and supervisors with Sri Lankan workers.

For many here that seems to be the sentiment, for decades the world has been playing this game with Iran.

We know what they are doing, we know what they want to do and have pretended that if we don’t poke them one day they will play nice

Imagine this situation but with Iran having nukes, that is the bottom line.
