The Houthi rebels have blocked a key oil passage in the Red Sea and attacked Saudi oil tankers, escalating tensions in the region.

The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, claim that they have targeted the vessels to protest against what they see as the US' support for Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Yemen.

The attacks come amid a backdrop of heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with President Trump weighing a 'massive attack' on Iran following recent rocket strikes on American bases in Iraq.
