Houthis have vowed new strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities following an attack on the Aramco headquarters, while Iranian forces hit an oil tanker off Oman and a cargo ship sank in the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation threatens global oil supplies and shipping routes, likely driving energy prices higher and increasing insurance and logistics costs for global trade. The situation represents a significant supply-side shock to the energy market.
