Content overview: “Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis Exchange Threats Over Oil Facilities”. Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia have traded threats over oil infrastructure, raising fears of a new escalation in the region’s long-running conflict. The Houthis warned they could target Saudi Aramco, the state oil giant, after Saudi authorities issued an evacuation notice for an oil facility in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. The Houthis have previously attacked Aramco sites, including the 2019 strikes on Abqaiq and Khurais that temporarily halved Saudi oil output.

Any disruption to Saudi oil exports could spike prices and destabilize an already volatile region. Analysts note that both sides are using oil infrastructure as leverage, a tactic that could derail peace efforts.
