On the 14th of this month, several drones attacked two oil facilities of Saudi Aramco and caused a fire. Saudi Arabia said that the attack reduced Saudi oil supply by 5.7 million barrels a day, accounting for about 50% of Saudi oil daily output and 5% of global oil daily supply. The United States accused Iran of the attack and imposed new sanctions on Iran. Iran firmly denies any connection with the attack.
