Iran's Yemeni allies, the Houthis, declared they would blockade Saudi Arabia's ports, in what would throw the world's energy markets into further chaos after the Islamic republic blockaded the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
TEHRAN: Iran stepped up its attacks in the Middle East on Tuesday (Jul 21), two weeks after its war with the United States resumed, with sirens sounding in Bahrain, and Jordan announcing it had intercepted two waves of missiles and drones.
Iran's Yemeni allies, the Houthis, declared they would blockade Saudi Arabia's ports, in what would throw the world's energy markets into further chaos after the Islamic republic blockaded the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards meanwhile said they had attacked and stopped two "non-compliant oil tankers" attempting to transit Hormuz, which Tehran has blockaded to avenge the US-Israeli attack that kickstarted the war on Feb 28.
It remains unclear how the Houthis would implement their blockade of Saudi ports, and oil markets eased slightly despite the threat from Iran's ally against the world's biggest crude exporter.
