Iran also paused its0:06retaliatory attacks, but the relative0:08calm did not hold. Houthi rebels in0:10Yemen opened a dangerous new front,0:13attacking Saudi oil facilities and0:14declaring a blockade on the Red Sea.0:16Houthi rebels struck the Saudi Aramco0:18refinery at Jizan and fired ballistic0:21missiles at the Yanbu oil port on the0:23Red Sea. Their leader declared a0:25maritime blockade on all Saudi-linked0:27shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb0:28Strait, one of the world's most critical0:30choke points for oil and trade. The Bab0:32el-Mandeb Strait connects the Red Sea to0:34the Gulf of Aden. Nearly 10% of global0:37seaborne oil passes through this narrow0:39channel. A Houthi blockade here0:41threatens supply chains across the0:42Middle East and drives up energy costs0:44worldwide. The cost of this conflict is0:46hitting Americans at the pump. The0:48national average for a gallon of gas has0:50surged past $4 in California. Drivers0:53are paying nearly $6. Crude oil is now0:56above $100 a barrel. President Trump is0:58meeting with his national security team1:00today at a critical crossroads, weighing1:02the option of a massive attack against1:04Iran or pursuing a diplomatic off-ramp.1:07He directed the military to hold off on1:08new strikes for now, but vowed major1:10punishment for any future attacks. The1:13war is now in its fifth month, far1:15exceeding the initial estimates from the1:16administration. After 2 weeks of1:18continuous strikes, this pause marks the1:20first real break in fighting, even as1:22the theater of conflict expands into the1:24Red Sea, and American drivers bear the1:26cost.கட்டுரையைப் படிக்கவும்செய்தியின் காலவரிசைHeyDexகுறுங்காணொளி ↗
