00:00Oil prices are climbing again after Saudi Arabia shut down a critical pipeline that has served
00:04as a major alternative route around the Strait of Rermuz. The east-west pipeline moves crude
00:09from the kingdom's oil fields to the Red Sea, helping keep exports flowing while the strategic
00:14waterway remains heavily disrupted. Its closure is raising fresh concerns about how much oil can
00:19reach global markets if the conflict continues to threaten multiple shipping routes. Brent crude
00:25moved above $100 a barrel and continued climbing as traders assessed the potential supply shock.
