World
— 5d
U.S. forces said they disabled the St. Kitts-flagged cargo ship M/V Huda in the Gulf of Oman after its crew ignored warnings and tried to breach the blockade of Iran; CENTCOM said it has redirected 147 compliant vessels and disabled five others. Iranian media also reported explosions in coastal areas, while the IRGC said two oil tankers caught fire after striking mines while using unauthorized routes, claims whose circumstances were unclear.

Saudi Oil Exports Face Disruption Across Region
Donald John Trump
— Sep 12, 2026
Diplomatic efforts in the region stalled as Oman postponed Iran-Gulf talks amid drone and missile attacks that disrupted key oil routes, including Saudi Arabia’s east-west pipeline and tension around the Strait of Hormuz, stoking fears of a global oil supply shock. The Houthis’ rapid advances—seizing Bab al-Mandeb and threatening Perim Island and Mocha—have narrowed Saudi options and heightened the risk of wider conflict, with analysts noting limited strategic room for Riyadh and uncertainty over U.S. involvement under Trump.
