Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, escalating tensions around key regional shipping routes.
The group said the strike was part of its ongoing campaign against vessels linked to its regional adversaries, though details of the attack and any damage caused have not been independently confirmed.
Meanwhile, Iranian media reported that US involvement is delaying a potential Strait of Hormuz agreement with Oman, as diplomatic efforts continue over safe maritime passage.
The developments come amid heightened concerns over security in the region, where disruptions to major waterways could affect global oil supplies and international shipping.
Regional powers and international stakeholders are closely monitoring both the maritime tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.
