Saudi Aramco traslada 14 millones de barriles al Golfo tras ataque al oleoducto

Reuters informó que el 21 de septiembre Saudi Aramco cargó alrededor de 14 millones de barriles de crudo en siete superpetroleros en el Golfo, trasladando envíos que antes se dirigían al Mar Rojo tras la interrupción del oleoducto Este-Oeste por un ataque con drones. El oleoducto, que conecta el Golfo Pérsico con el Mar Rojo, fue cerrado el 18 de septiembre después de que drones lanzados desde Irak alcanzaran estaciones de bombeo, provocando incendios, según funcionarios estadounidenses y saudíes. El presidente Donald Trump señaló que Irán probablemente estaba detrás del ataque, y el secretario de Energía de EE.

 UU. , Chris Wright, dijo que el ducto volvería a operar en pocos días. Imágenes satelitales publicadas por la BBC mostraron graves daños, y la posibilidad de una pérdida de hasta un 4 % del suministro mundial de petróleo generó una subida temporal de los precios, que luego retrocedieron al incrementarse los envíos desde el Golfo.

Resumen

All three claims have insufficient evidence. The closure of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline after drone strikes in Iraq on September 14, 2026, could not be confirmed. The report by maritime authorities of a projectile strike on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz on September 13, 2026, also lacks sufficient verification. The statement by President Donald Trump on September 12, 2026, attributing responsibility to Iran for the aerial strike that stopped the Saudi pipeline and mentioning his communication with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remains unverified as well.
