Iran Strikes Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura Refinery

Iranian drones struck Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura oil refinery — one of the world’s largest refining and export facilities — triggering a fire and forcing the refinery to halt operations as a precaution, according to multiple regional sources. Saudi Arabia’s defense forces intercepted drones near the site, but falling debris sparked a limited blaze that was brought under control, and there have been no confirmed injuries. The facility, with a daily processing capacity of roughly **550,000 barrels**, plays a critical role in regional and global energy supply. The attack is seen as part of Iran’s broader retaliation after recent U.S. and allied actions in the region, drawing sharp reactions and concern over energy market stability.
