A potential Houthi military push along Yemen’s Red Sea coast raises fresh concerns over global energy markets, as the Iran-aligned group intensifies strikes on Saudi Arabia’s critical oil infrastructure. Disruptions to production or shipping routes in the region could tighten supply chains already strained by geopolitical tensions, adding upward pressure on gasoline costs. With the group’s recent escalation targeting key energy assets, analysts warn of further volatility in fuel markets if the conflict spreads or persists. The development underscores the fragile balance of oil flows through one of the world’s most strategically vital waterways.
