UK to provide air-to-air refueling to Saudi jets to counter Houthi attacks

The UK has agreed to provide defensive air support, specifically air-to-air refueling, to Saudi Arabia to help counter Houthi attacks on energy infrastructure. This move aims to stabilize the Middle East and keep oil flowing from the Gulf, potentially easing global economic pressures. The decision comes ahead of PM Andy Burnham's first meeting with Donald Trump, where he will urge an end to conflict with Iran.
