While they claim no threat to global shipping, they’ve targeted Saudi vessels, disrupting vital oil exports and sparking renewed airstrikes. The offensive has already displaced tens of thousands, with families losing everything for the second or third time. This resurgence follows the collapse of a four-year truce and reignites fears of regional instability, pushing crude prices back above $100 a barrel.
