Iran fired missiles at American bases in Jordan and drones at Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates early Wednesday.

The strikes came following a night of American bombardment in the Gulf.

Oil exports from the region on Monday were higher than pre-war levels when Saudi Arabia's and the United Arab Emirates' pipelines that bypass the Strait of Hormuz are included.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates used alternative pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, rerouting some of their oil shipments and limiting the global market impact of the restrictions.

The read here is that the use of alternative pipelines may have helped maintain export volumes despite the conflict, though the facts do not establish a causal link between the rerouting and the higher export levels.
