Iranian drones struck Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura oil refinery on Monday, causing the facility to halt operations as part of a broader escalation in Middle East hostilities. Ras Tanura is one of Saudi Arabia’s largest oil processing hubs, capable of handling around 550,000 barrels per day. Following the drone attack, Saudi Aramco shut down the refinery as a precautionary measure, and local emergency teams responded to fires triggered by the strike. No immediate reports of injuries have been confirmed. The incident comes amid intensifying conflict in the region after recent U.S.–Israeli military actions on Iran and subsequent Iranian retaliation targeting military and infrastructure sites across Gulf states. Energy markets reacted sharply, with oil prices spiking as concerns grow over the security of critical energy infrastructure and potential disruptions to global supply.
