Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry temporarily closed the East-West Crude Oil Pipeline as a precaution after Thursday's drone hits from Iraq. [1] Reuters filed the shutdown through state media. [1] This paper printed a fire at pumping stations. Friday the ministry named a closure.
Temporary is the ministry's word. [1] A precaution is not a destroyed line. Hormuz remains a different clock. Print the closure as temporary. Do not print a vanished kingdom export book.
Bloomberg filed the same bypass shut after the attacks. [2] A shut bypass is not a mapped strait. Later repair calendars belong to later editions. Friday prints temporary. Leave a kill-order to the edition that owns a kill-order.
Oil's 108 print is the adjoining energy page, not this ministry sentence. Do not merge a precaution into a deal.
