What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Iran-backed Houthis launched drone and ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabian oil terminals and pipelines in the country's south two weeks ago, according to reports. The Houthis subsequently defeated Saudi forces on the Red Sea coast and captured the port of Mokha. Due to the damage to the east-west pipeline that bypassed the Strait of Hormuz, the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates is now the only alternative route for oil to the global market via a limited pipeline through the United Arab Emirates.
