Saudi Crude Flows Uninterrupted Amid Red Sea Tensions

Millions of barrels of Saudi Arabian crude continue to flow from the Red Sea coast despite threats and attacks by Yemen's Houthi militants.

The Iran-backed group declared a blockade of Saudi Arabia, but Western shipowners are making plans to avoid or navigate through the Bab el-Mandeb strait with their transponders turned off.

Meanwhile, vessels owned by Iran-affiliated nations like China continue to cross the strait while hauling Riyadh's oil.

The Red Sea port of Yanbu remains one of the key workarounds for oil shipments while tensions persist in the region.
