Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen claim new attacks on Saudi Arabia
The rebels said they hit a military base and injured two people in Jazan as government forces regroup after losses on the west coast.
- On Sunday, the British navy-affiliated agency UKMTO reported that a projectile struck a vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with crew status and damage extent remaining unknown as of early Sunday.
- Saudi Arabia temporarily closed its 1,200-km East-West pipeline Saturday following a drone attack originating from Iraq, disrupting a route moving 4 million to 5 million barrels daily representing 4% to 5% of global oil supply.
- A projectile fired by the Iran-aligned Houthis injured two people in Jazan on Saturday and damaged buildings including a mosque, while U.S. diesel prices surged past a record $6 a gallon and Brent crude rose above $100 a barrel.
- Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, phoned President Donald Trump on Thursday requesting U.S. military help fighting the Houthis; Washington said it would provide intelligence but not direct intervention.
- Iran's Foreign Ministry announced it will attend talks in Oman on Monday with Gulf Arab states to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, though Iranian officials said the meeting was unlikely to yield a signed agreement given Iran's demand for control.
