Kya hua
13-14 September ko Iraq se drones ne Saudi ka East-West pipeline band kara diya aur Hormuz me ek ship par projectile attack hua, Brent $2.72 badhkar $107.33 ho gaya.
Oil ke daam Monday 14 September ko $3 se zyada uchhal gaye jab Saudi Arabia ke East-West pipeline par drone hamla aur Strait of Hormuz me ek tanker par attack ne supply disruption ka dar phir se bada diya — ye duniya ka sabse important oil corridor hai.
Reuters ke mutabik Brent crude $2.72 yaani 2.6% badhkar $107.33 per barrel aur US ka WTI $2.51 badhkar $102.56 par pahunch gaya. Session ke shuru me daam 4% tak bhaage the, phir US President Donald Trump ke Ukraine-Russia energy aur Iran deal wale bayan ke baad thoda neeche aaye.
Wajah Thursday ko Iraq se launch hue drones the jinhone Saudi ka East-West pipeline band kara diya. Ye 7 million barrel per day wali line Persian Gulf se Red Sea ke Yanbu port tak crude le jaati hai aur Hormuz ko bypass karti hai. Riyadh ne abhi tak damage kitna hai ya kab restart hoga ye nahi bataya. Analysts keh rahe hain isse global supply ka 4% tak khatre me hai.
Pipeline band hone se ab Yanbu ke storage par hi bharosa hai jo sirf 5 se 7 din ka export cover kar sakta hai, teen industry sources ne bataya. Hormuz se nikalne wale commodity ships weekend me single digit me gir gaye jabki 10-din ka average 14 tha. Oman ke foreign minister ne kaha Salalah me Monday ko hone wali Gulf-Iran meeting postpone ho gayi, jabki Houthi ne Khamis Mushait airbase par missile-drone attack claim kiya aur Bab el-Mandeb ke paas Perim Island par control badha liya.
Kaise disruption badha
Price spike ke peeche ke main events:
- Thursday 11 Sep — Iraq se drones ne pipeline par hit kiya, Saudi ne line band ki.
- Sunday 13 Sep — Hormuz me ship par projectile attack, badi aag lagi — UKMTO report.
- Sunday 13 Sep — Oman ne Salalah me Monday ki Gulf-Iran meeting postpone ki.
- 13-14 Sep — Houthi ne Khamis Mushait airbase par attack claim kiya, Perim Island par advance.
Aage kya dekhna hai
Do cheezein decide karengi ki $100+ oil tikega ya nahi — pipeline kitni jaldi repair hoti hai aur Hormuz me shipping risk. Saudi ne restart date nahi di. 5-7 din me Yanbu storage khatam hua to export rukega. Insurance premium badh gaya aur Hormuz transit aadha ho gaya.
Hormuz aur ye pipeline kyu important hai
February se pehle duniya ke oil ka paanchva hissa Hormuz se nikalta tha. East-West pipeline Saudi ka backup tha taaki Hormuz band bhi ho to Red Sea se export chalti rahe — Aramco CEO ne kaha ye strategic reserves se bhi zyada stabilizing tha.
Kyun matter karta hai
Yanbu storage sirf 5-7 din ka hai aur Hormuz me ships kam ho gaye, repair late hua to petrol-diesel aur shipping cost badhega.

Agar disruption 5-7 din se zyada chala to India me petrol, diesel aur flight ticket ke daam kuch hafto me badh sakte hain.

Saudi pipeline band + Hormuz attack — oil $3 up, 4% supply at risk.

The pipeline outage threatens up to 4% of global oil supply, according to Reuters analysis.
A vessel was hit by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, causing a severe fire onboard, with UKMTO reporting the incident.
A Gulf-Iran meeting on the Hormuz situation planned for Monday in Salalah, Oman, was postponed, Oman Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said.
With the pipeline offline, Yanbu port must draw on storage estimated to cover five to seven days of exports, per three industry sources.
Commodity vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to single digits per day over the weekend versus a 10-day average of 14.
