  "summary": "Regional powers have strongly condemned the attack on Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline, warning that such strikes on the kingdom’s energy infrastructure represent a dangerous escalation. The Gulf Co-operation Council, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, and the Muslim World League all expressed their condemnation, describing the attack as a breach of international law and a threat to regional security. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy announced that the pipeline had been shut down as a precautionary measure following the attacks, which were reportedly carried out by drones launched from Iraq. The kingdom reserves the right to take necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and security, while investigations are underway to assess the extent of the damage and secure the pipeline.",
