US Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicated that Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline is likely to resume operations in a matter of days, addressing questions about the timeline for its reopening.

When asked whether the pipeline might require days or a longer period to become operational again, Wright stated, "I think it will be measured in days."

Wright reiterated his view that the pipeline could be reopened "very soon," adding that Saudi authorities are taking swift action to reroute oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, with support from US military forces.
