Houthi forces have escalated attacks to include King Fahd International Airport and Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia, signaling a dangerous expansion of the conflict's reach. The FAA's subsequent warning to US airlines regarding military risks over Saudi airspace directly threatens Delta's new routes and introduces a premium on Gulf transit insurance. Concurrently, reports of a tanker hit by a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz compound supply fears, keeping Brent crude elevated near $103.50 despite broader market selling.
