Riad. Ataques con drones reivindicados por los rebeldes yemeníes aliados de Irán obligaron este martes al cierre de uno de los mayores oleoductos de Arabia Saudí, lo que aumenta la tensión en el golfo Pérsico tras el “sabotaje” que sufrieron el domingo cuatro barcos, incluyendo dos petroleros saudíes.

Días después de que Estados Unidos desplegó bombarderos y un buque de asalto para reforzar una flotilla liderada por un portaaviones en Oriente Medio, Arabia Saudí, el mayor exportador de crudo del mundo, informó del ataque contra dos estaciones de bombeo.
