Houthis Claim Strikes on Saudi Oil Tankers, Escalating Red Sea Crisis

Iran-aligned Houthi forces said Thursday they attacked two Saudi oil tankers, part of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia. The strikes threaten a second major choke point for global oil supplies in the Red Sea, as Iran also tries to control the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has now carried out 12 consecutive nights of airstrikes in response.
