Houthis Advance on Yemen Coast, Threaten Saudi Oil Exports

Houthi rebels in Yemen have advanced along the country's coast, threatening Saudi oil exports in the Red Sea. The development comes as tensions between the US and Iran escalate following Iranian strikes on a US Air Base in Jordan.

The Houthis' gains raise concerns about the security of international shipping lanes in the region, which are critical for global energy supplies. Saudi Arabia is a major oil producer, and any disruption to its exports could have significant economic consequences.
