Houthis claim attack on Saudi oil infrastructure as US-Iran pause holds
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacks on several Saudi oil facilities on July 27, 2026.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group targeted crude oil supply and transport sites linking eastern Saudi Arabia to Yanbu.
Saudi Arabia has increasingly relied on its east-west pipeline to move crude oil to Yanbu, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
The US and Iran paused direct attacks for a third straight day, with Qatar, Pakistan, and Oman mediating.
Iran confirmed it paused attacks following the US decision to halt strikes, with no direct negotiations.
