The Yemen Houthi movement has claimed a major advance by capturing Perim Island, a critical chokepoint at the mouth of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, following their earlier seizure of Mokha. This consolidation gives them direct control over the western Red Sea corridor, a key artery for oil shipments to Asia. Despite claims of no threat to global shipping, the Houthis have reiterated a willingness to target Saudi vessels. US President Donald Trump has been urged by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to act, but so far the United States has offered only intelligence support. The conflict’s escalation has dislocated nearly 46,000 civilians and has accelerated global oil prices to a $100‑a‑barrel benchmark.

Saudi Arabia has temporarily closed its critical East‑West oil pipeline after a drone strike launched from an Iraqi province that borders Iran. The pipeline, which carries roughly five percent of global oil, was targeted early Friday, prompting Saudi officials to declare a halt for safety checks. Iraq has announced an investigation and removed the commander in that region, while Gulf partners and the GECS condemned the attack. The incident comes as Houthi rebels advance in Yemen, threatening maritime routes and pushing oil prices beyond $100 a barrel for the first time since mid‑year. Fluxdaily subscribers receive alternate‑timeline analyses showing how a swift repair could keep stability, versus scenarios where damaged infrastructure fuels further conflict.
