Summary
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi as Riyadh faces escalating Houthi attacks disrupting oil shipments and spiking global prices. Though Egypt won’t send troops, its regional clout could help rally support. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline is offline, removing millions of barrels daily, while Houthis seize key Red Sea ports — prompting the U.K. to demand an immediate ceasefire and affirming Saudi self-defense rights. Civilian casualties rise amid strikes in Yemen’s Taiz, worsening humanitarian crises and fuel shortages. Meanwhile, U.S. forces destroyed two Iranian boats attempting to hijack a drone ship, as Iran mobilizes volunteers for military training — signaling rising tensions. Oman now urges alternative energy routes to avoid the Strait of Hormuz, as markets reel from price surges and displaced populations strain aid systems.
