✦AI Summary
Iranian-aligned Houthi militants have claimed responsibility for attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, aiming to establish a naval blockade. This escalation threatens to create a second global oil chokepoint alongside the Strait of Hormuz, further complicating the ongoing conflict involving the U.S. and Iran.
If Saudi oil shipments cannot pass through the Red Sea's southern strait, they have only the northern route through the Suez Canal, adding weeks and costs to the journey.
