Houthis Attack Saudi Oil Tankers as US Strikes 12th Night Against Iran

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, sparking concerns over global energy supplies and prices. The attack is seen as a retaliatory measure by the Houthis against Saudi Arabia's blockade on Yemen.

The US military has conducted its 12th night of strikes against Iran in response to what it sees as Iranian aggression in the region. The US is pushing to regain control over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global energy trade.

US President Donald Trump warned that any attack on ships in the strait would be met with destruction of one bridge or power plant per incident. This comes as both sides have increasingly threatened civilian infrastructure, which is prohibited under international law unless used for military purposes.
