US Pauses Nightly Strikes on Iran as Houthis Clash With Saudis
The US paused its nightly strikes on Iran after 13 consecutive days, coinciding with increased Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities in the Red Sea. The Houthis targeted Saudi Aramco facilities and threatened to blockade Saudi ports, prompting a Saudi-led coalition response. The ongoing conflict has severely disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over potential increases in crude oil prices if Saudi export routes are further affected.
