Iran Attacks Saudi Aramco: New Tensions Erupt in Gulf Region
•Iran's Shahed-136 Drone attacked Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura Refinery on March 2, 2026, causing a fire and temporary shutdown.
•The attack is linked to Iran's 'True Promise 4' campaign, aiming to pressure Gulf countries and retaliate against alleged Saudi-America-Israel alliance.
•Iran warns that Gulf countries hosting American military bases will be considered active participants in any conflict.
•The incident raises concerns about global oil supply chains, with Ras Tanura being a major export center, potentially impacting Brent Crude prices.
•India, heavily reliant on Gulf oil imports, faces potential inflation due to rising petrol, diesel, and LPG prices if supply is disrupted.
