Houthi Attack Damages Saudi Oil Pipeline, Raising Global Energy Concerns

Houthi forces claim responsibility for an attack on a Saudi base, which has significantly disrupted a major Saudi oil pipeline for weeks. This incident complicates Saudi Arabia's efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and has driven oil prices to a near four-month high. The development also led to a delay in Iran-Oman talks regarding Strait control, increasing geopolitical and economic stakes for global energy markets.
