On 2 March 2026, an oil refinery in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia owned by Saudi Aramco was the target of an alleged Iranian drone attack. The attack caused very minor damage, however the refinery halted operations out of security concerns and began working on creating alternate routes for oil product exports. The refinery is the largest in Saudi Arabia, and its shutdown caused spikes in oil prices.
