Saudi Arabia temporarily shut its crucial East-West oil pipeline after drones launched from Iraq struck the route, causing injuries and damage. The pipeline has become a vital alternative for Saudi crude as the war disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis consolidated control over Yemen’s entire Red Sea coast and strategic islands around Bab al-Mandab after a lightning offensive. The Houthis also released footage they said showed their forces at the captured Khaled bin Walid camp near Mocha. Iran’s IRGC hailed the Houthi advance as a “divine triumph” as regional energy pressures intensify.
