x/saudi-arabian
— Sep 11, 2026

The broader security picture shows Houthis pressing toward Bab el-Mandeb, raising international concern over freedom of navigation as the Red Sea route for Saudi oil comes under pressure and the Houthis’ advances increasingly threaten critical sea lanes and pipeline infrastructure.

Finance
— Jul 17, 2026
Global oil prices climbed as US-Iran tensions raised concerns about disruptions to Middle East supply routes, with Brent above $90 and WTI in the low- to mid-$80s as markets fret over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
