Well, this appears to be about the Saudi East-West crude oil pipeline.[1]
Unfortunately, this route around the Straight of Hormuz just moves traffic into the Red Sea, where the Houthis can pick it off instead.
Alternatively, all of the pumping stations are likely well known to Iran.
I wouldn't count on this lasting long.

who would win: a multi-billion dollar pipeline or one little Iranian rocket boi?
