Houthi Strikes Escalate Saudi-Iran Tensions; Hormuz Talks Halted

Houthi forces conducted missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia's King Khalid airbase and the East-West pipeline, leading Gulf states to cancel Strait of Hormuz talks with Iran. Riyadh attributes the pipeline attack to Iran-backed fighters in Iraq, while Iran denies involvement in Yemen. The pipeline outage removes Saudi Arabia's only bypass route around the Strait of Hormuz, increasing oil supply risks.
