Saudi Arabia has announced the creation of an international coalition to safeguard freedom of navigation through key waterways, including the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea. The Multinational Maritime Defense Alliance was established as a framework for collective maritime defense cooperation.

The move comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, which have focused on the Strait of Hormuz. A virtual closure of this route could severely impact global oil exports, with 20% of global crude shipments currently passing through it.

The WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil price has dipped by 1.20% to $82.60 in response to the developing situation.
