The attacks ignited fires at multiple sites, including a refinery in Jazan, and led to temporary work suspensions. Saudi Arabia and its coalition responded with strong warnings, considering the strikes a serious escalation. Oil prices rose significantly, with Brent crude increasing by 2.2% to nearly $99.16, and gasoline prices edging higher. During the conflict, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, intensifying the importance of the Red Sea for saudi oil exports. The Houthis launched missile and drone attacks on strategic Saudi targets in retaliation for earlier Saudi strikes in Yemen, including damage to Aramco facilities.Despite disruptions, Aramco&#8217;s CEO indicated operations would soon be restored.
