## Resource

Houthi forces in Yemen are escalating their campaign against Saudi Arabia, claiming major advances along the Red Sea and capturing islands near a critical oil chokepoint—while also launching drone and missile strikes on Saudi cities. Though Saudi officials remain silent on specific attacks, they’ve issued alerts and the U.S. has upped its travel warning for the region. The Houthis say they shot down a Saudi jet but offer no proof, while U.S. officials recently met with them in Oman, where the group insisted they won’t target American ships and still honor a ceasefire. With global oil supplies already under strain, traders brace for further disruption as Saudi Arabia’s key East-West pipeline remains offline—with hopes of a quick recovery. The conflict’s sudden flare-up raises urgent questions about energy markets and U.S. strategy in the volatile Middle East.
