The Houthis strike two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea: Brent Crude pops higher

The Houthis have struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.

The oil tankers Layla (IMO 9336098) and Encelia (IMO 9240172) were targeted with ballistic and cruise missiles by the pro-Iranian Shiite separatist group in Yemen after the group claimed that the ships had disobeyed its blockade orders.

The Houthis are trying to blockade Saudi ports in the Red Sea in support of the Iranian regime as war in the Persian Gulf is renewed.

Brent Crude futures price was above $91 as of writing.

Meanwhile, CENTCOM announced that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for shipping despite threats made by the IRGC that the strait is closed unless it provides its authorisation.

Alleged footage of one of the oil-tankers posted online by the pro-Iranian axis.
