Houthis Say Hit Saudi Arabia as Trump Weighs Harder Iran Strikes
The Houthis said they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Aramco sites as Saudi authorities issued emergency warnings and the Saudi-led coalition struck back.
- On Saturday, Iran-aligned Houthi rebels claimed missile strikes on facilities linked to Saudi Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu, deepening their involvement in the regional war that expanded after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
- The rebels recently announced a maritime blockade against Saudi ports, saying they would target vessels 'belonging to Saudi enemy' that do not comply; the Saudi-led coalition responded Friday by striking Houthi military positions in Hodeida.
- Saudi authorities briefly issued emergency warnings for Jizan and Yanbu early Saturday for 'potential danger,' lifting them minutes later, while the U.S. paused its daily strikes on Iran after 13 days of nightly exchanges.
- Brent crude prices soared around 27% in the past two weeks as the Houthis target shipping routes, while a Hong Kong-flagged supertanker U-turned near the Bab el-Mandeb strait on Friday, exposing widening economic fallout.
- President Donald Trump said he is holding off on major operations, suggesting Tehran is becoming 'more and more serious' in talks, though he reiterated his nuclear 'tipping point' red line for any decision.
