Thursday's energy file carries a fire at pumping stations on Saudi Arabia's East-West Crude Oil Pipeline after projectiles launched from Iraq. [1] This desk has no Energy Ministry PDF dated today that names a shutdown. A fire at a pump is not a closed strait and not a confirmed multi-day outage.

Reuters filed Brent holding above 100 as tanker attacks deepened supply fear. [1] Al Arabiya put a $107 touch on the same flareup. [2] Neither file is a ministry closure letter. Print the hit and the fire as Thursday's infrastructure claim. Do not print a vanished export route.

Keep this off the Mokha lede and off the Brent close until a company or ministry timestamps an outage. [1] Hormuz remains a different clock. A bypass rumor is not a kill-order. Friday can own a named precaution. Thursday does not invent one.

Print the fire. Print unconfirmed as a ministry word. Leave a named closure to the edition that owns a named closure.
