[Verse 1] Houthi spokesman steps up, says the drone found its mark, pump station on the pipeline, Yanbu facility sparked. Saudi coalition answers back, cool and terse, "we shot down two drones" — Riyadh, Eastern Province first. No word on damage, no word on fire, just interceptions claimed, nothing higher. Two stories standing, refusing to shake hands, that's the headline sitting on shifting sands. [Chorus] Non confermato, solo intercettato, claim on one side, confirm never stated. Quattro milioni di barili al giorno flow, four percent of the whole world — that's the number you should know. Non confermato, resta sospeso, the truth's still floating, nothing's appeso. [Verse 2] Now the headline wants a "renew," like a pause, like a break, but check the calendar, friend, see the claims they stake — October twenty-four, then the twenty-six again, Houthis claimed the pipeline then, no confirming pen. November ninth, the Saudis did confirm a hit, "limited fire," they called it — small, contained, legit. So the word "renew" implies a quiet in between, but three strikes in three weeks say that silence was never seen. [Verse 3] Here's what the headline skipped while chasing the blast — this pipeline moves four million barrels, future and past, down to Yanbu's harbor, loaded onto tankers wide, four percent of the planet's oil rides that single pipe inside. Same day in New York, the Council took a stand, sanctions on the Houthis extended, unanimous and planned, through twenty twenty-seven, November fourteenth the date, demanding they stop striking Saudi Arabia, cease and abate. [Verse 4] What's coming next? January eleventh's the clock — the Council decides what nations do to block dual-use parts from landing in Houthi hands, the gear that builds the drones, the wiring, the plans. Sanctions run a year more, the Panel stays too, watching close till December fifteenth, gathering what's true. Saudi's pushing Brussels, wants Ansar Allah named terrorist — but EU and Russia warn talks could get maimed. [Bridge] Conflagration — that's a fire that runs and roars and spreads, but Nov ninth was "limited," a small flame instead. Save that word for later, keep your eyes still peeled, watch for Aramco's word on what the smoke revealed. [Chorus] Non confermato, solo intercettato, claim on one side, confirm never stated. Quattro milioni di barili al giorno flow, four percent of the whole world — that's the number you should know. Non confermato, resta sospeso, the truth's still floating, nothing's appeso. [Outro] Gulf News closes, the pen goes down slow, nothing's confirmed yet, that's all we know. Tredici novembre, the record stands clear — claim and confirmation, keep both in your ear.
