But it’s also to ensure the Houthis “grow even more resilient and adept in ensuring that they remain the last functional proxy by Bab al-Mandeb”, said Jalal.https://aje.news/58u90m0.00602026-10-11T19:41:31.253924+00:005aljazeera.comiransaudi-arabiahouthis2504https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/AP26280318035038-1791397545.jpg?w=770&resize=770%2C513&quality=80Houthi supporters carry their rifles while attending an armed tribal rally in Sanaa, Yemen, Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026.

But they have stated previously that Saudi airports will be one of their main targets, and this is what we are seeing. As part of their “blockade for blockade” equation and “airport for airport”, this is precisely the formula that the Yemeni group is applying because of the attacks, according to the Ansar Allah Houthis, on Sanaa International Airport and because of the Saudi air strikes across various Yemeni provinces under the control of the group. Their way of retaliation, according to the group, is by attacking Saudi Arabia’s most precious assets, which are Aramco oil facilities and the airport in Riyadh, which is considered their biggest aviation hub. Although Saudi Arabia has said it will retaliate, let’s not forget that it’s carried out many air strikes across Yemen, and the Yemeni group is still able to launch ballistic missiles and drones towards Saudi Arabia.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/10/11/iran-war-live-12-killed-in-riyadh-us-weighs-joining-fight-against-houthis?update=50361860.00702026-10-11T08:15:05.029381+00:005aljazeera.comsaudi-arabiaretaliationhouthis2483https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Yousef-Mawry-1789294656.jpg?resize=96,96&quality=802026-10-11T08:15:05.381865+00:002663<p>Kuwait Airways has announced the cancellation of two flights scheduled to and from Riyadh on Sunday due to what it said was “the temporary suspension of operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh by the Saudi Arabian authorities”.

Priority will likely go to refineries on the west coast (approx. 1.5 million b/d), and only afterward to oil exports east/west—though interestingly, as early as Sunday, one tanker was already waiting for loading (destination: China🇨🇳). And what about Orlen in this context? If Aramco partially lifts the force majeure, then the expensively acquired alternative supplies can either be brought in as an additional surplus or an attempt made to resell them. Given current trends (falling DFL and differentials) and potentially additional supply from the next tranche of SPR oil releases, however, it will be very difficult to avoid a loss. That said, the decision itself to purchase (even at a huge premium) alternative supplies was understandable.https://x.com/luke_skiba/status/21026776328651613510.00602026-09-23T09:24:16.431872+00:002x.comsaudi-arabiaoilpipeline1289https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HS414FlWcAAQOPy?format=jpg&name=smallImage2026-09-23T09:24:16.643293+00:001432@spectatorindexThe Spectator IndexBREAKING: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia has restarted operations at its East-West oil pipelinehttps://x.com/spectatorindex/status/21023472687877204890.00402026-09-23T07:00:27.333767+00:002x.comsaudi-arabiabreakingoil-pipeline1255https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f1f8-1f1e6.svg🇸🇦2026-09-23T07:00:27.563200+00:001415The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkiye have met in New York to discuss closer cooperation.

The US joining the war against Yemen’s rebels is “unlikely although I wouldn’t rule it out, especially the longer this goes on”, he added. “My sense is the United States doesn’t want to get tangled up in another war front right now,” Elmasry said, adding it’s also not likely other Saudi allies will intervene militarily. “The Saudis are kind of stuck. They’ve reached out to numerous allies. Allies are producing some measure of support – logistics support, intelligence, weapons – but it doesn’t look like the Pakistanis or the Turks or the Egyptians or the Americans, or anyone else, wants to get directly involved in kinetic military action,” said Elmasry. “The Houthis have been very clear from the start that they are not planning to shut down Bab al-Mandeb to anyone except the Saudis. So I would be surprised if there’s some significant deployment.”https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/20/iran-war-live-tehran-calls-for-end-to-war-lifting-of-us-naval-blockade?update=49670740.00902026-09-20T08:17:41.066070+00:005aljazeera.comsaudi-arabiawarmiddle-east1024https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Analysis-1699362873.svg?fit=101,20&quality=80Analysis2026-09-20T08:17:42.148371+00:001166Turkiye backs Saudi Arabia’s security amid escalating Houthi attacks: FMhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/19/turkiye-backs-saudi-arabias-security-amid-escalating-houthi-attacks-fm0.00602026-09-20T06:06:57.656866+00:005aljazeera.comturkiyehouthisaudi-arabia1001https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/getty_6aaf05610b-1789855073.jpg?resize=770,513&quality=80Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan speaks at a press conference in Istanbul2026-09-20T06:06:58.603107+00:001161@coinbureauCoin BureauBREAKING: The US government says Iran-backed Houthis have attacked Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports, and warns the conflict could escalate rapidly.

The announcement marked the first reported Houthi strike on Riyadh since the latest round of hostilities began in July. The Yemeni group also claimed an attack on Aramco facilities in Yanbu. The Saudi-led coalition meanwhile said it thwarted attempts by the Houthis to target the cities of Baish, Taif, Farasan and Yanbu. It did not say whether there had been any damage. The Houthis have been launching attacks against Saudi Arabia since declaring a naval blockade against Saudi shipping in July. The attacks have targeted cities, military bases and energy infrastructure across the kingdom.https://aje.news/xib2xq?update=49664460.00602026-09-20T05:13:33.864638+00:005aljazeera.comyemensaudi-arabiahouthi973https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/explainer-1699362886.svgExplainer2026-09-20T05:13:34.628256+00:001069@silvertradeSilverTrade🚨 SAUDI ARABIA DECLARES FORCE MAJEURE: INFORMS EUROPEAN REFINERS THEY WILL RECEIVE ZERO CRUDE IN OCTOBER- Bloomberghttps://x.com/silvertrade/status/21009680850922009430.00402026-09-18T16:24:14.403143+00:002x.comsaudi-arabiaforce-majeurebloomberg896https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f6a8.svg🚨2026-09-18T16:24:14.626382+00:001043@KobeissiLetterThe Kobeissi LetterBREAKING: Saudi Arabia has informed European refiners that they will be allocated no crude oil next month amid the East-West pipeline shutdown, per Bloomberg.

S&P 500 futures were down 0.38%, while futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 240 points, or 0.45%. Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.46%. Tuesday morning saw the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rise to its highest since 2007, adding 10 basis points to trade at 5.022% by 1:35 a.m. ET.

Global government bond yields have been in focus for equity markets in recent weeks, with government debt selling off amid mounting fears that the ongoing U.S.-Iran war will fuel inflation and a hawkish turn among central banks. Oil prices also edged higher after Saudi Arabia shuttered a key pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, leading Brent futures to close above $105 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude to settle over $101.

(Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)2026-09-15T06:06:47.726824+00:00746In another blow to global oil markets, drones struck Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline on Thursday, prompting the kingdom to suspend operations. The 1,200km (746-mile) pipeline, which carries roughly 4 to 5 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), links the country’s major oil-producing fields in the east with the Red Sea port of Yanbu, allowing Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has largely been closed since the outbreak of the US-Israel war on Iran in February. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said the shutdown was a “precautionary” measure after the attack caused damage and injuries in the Riyadh and Medina regions. The closure comes as the US-Israel war on Iran has sharply reduced oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi forces in Yemen have intensified attacks around the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb. With oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz severely disrupted, Saudi Arabia has relied more heavily on the East-West pipeline. What does its closure mean for an already tight global oil market?https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/14/why-saudi-arabias-east-west-pipeline-matters-for-global-oil0.00602026-09-15T05:51:24.856103+00:005aljazeera.comsaudi-arabiaoilpipeline642https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/afp-newsml.afp_.com_.20260913T183921Z.doc-c87x4lk-1789440180.jpg?w=770&resize=770%2C513&quality=80A satellite image shows a pumping station along the route of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline in al-Mesabaah, southeast of Medina, on September 13, 2026, following an attack and resulting fires2026-09-15T05:51:25.673303+00:00733Sam MeredithSatellite images show extent of damage to Saudi Arabia’s oil pipeline that bypasses Strait of Hormuzhttps://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/iran-war-saudi-arabia-east-west-pipeline-oil.html0.00502026-09-14T20:43:42.439910+00:0026cnbc.comiransaudi-arabiasam-meredith630https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/108362291-1789374106505-gettyimages-2294601588-sa_02_damage_east_west_pipeline_pumping_station_sep13_2026_vantor.jpeg?v=1789374276&w=240&h=180&vtcrop=ySatellite images show extent of damage to Saudi Arabia’s oil pipeline that bypasses Strait of Hormuz2026-09-14T20:43:42.696578+00:00712@KalshiKalshiJUST IN: Saudi Arabia's pipeline outage now puts 4% of global oil supply at risk of running dry within dayshttps://x.com/Kalshi/status/20994329695890965770.00402026-09-14T20:22:29.273583+00:002x.comsaudi-arabiaoilpipeline711@Osint613Open Source IntelSaudi Arabia is seeking to further boost oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz after attacks forced it to halt a key pipeline that had been its main means of getting crude to global markets during the Iran war.

That’s the approach suddenly being taken by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and AI rivals Elon Musk and Sam Altman. It’s also the approach being taken by investors, who are dumping chip stocks and other AI plays to start the week. But it might be an overreaction to Amodei’s calls for a slowdown in the pace of artificial-intelligence development. Of course, we at Barron’s might be wrong as we were about SpaceX. The market’s flight to safety is unusual—go-to haven gold is falling and Treasury yields are unmoved, yet Bitcoin and software stocks are on track to be the day’s big winners. Nvidia stock is another left-field idea for a safer bet, it’s better placed than chip rivals if AI progress slows. On top of the tech turmoil, Brent crude prices have jumped to $107 a barrel after Saudi Arabia shut a key oil pipeline as fighting in the Middle East escalates.

Yahya Saree, Houthi military spokesman, says the attack was in response to more than 300 Saudi air strikes in recent days and vowed the group will “continue operations deep within Saudi territory as long as the aggression persists”. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Iran is playing no role “whatsoever” in Yemen’s unfolding crisis. Today’s planned meeting with Gulf officials in Muscat was cancelled at the behest of Saudi Arabia, Baghaei said, amid the flare-up in fighting. He also denied reports of nuclear activity at Pickaxe Mountain and accused the US and Israel of committing war crimes by targeting civilians since the start of the war. Israel has carried out a series of dawn raids across the occupied West Bank, shooting and wounding one Palestinian man and arresting a number of others. Iranian authorities have seized properties from 240 people accused of affiliations with Israel and other “hostile countries”.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/14/iran-war-live-oman-says-hormuz-talks-with-iran-gulf-states-postponed0.00402026-09-14T08:48:14.142881+00:005aljazeera.comiransaudi-arabiahouthis657Yemen’s Ansar Allah Houthis say they launched a large-scale ballistic missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait and claimed “direct hits”.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/13/fighting-continues-between-yemen-govt-forces-houthis-what-is-the-latest0.00182026-09-14T08:47:46.416499+00:005aljazeera.comyemensaudi-arabiamissile-attack652<p>Oil advanced after Saudi Arabia shut a major crude pipeline following attacks, disrupting a route that’s been used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Iran war and deepening a global energy crunch.
