Middle East War - Six months In Attacks Resume |REPORTS

In the same way most of us agree that Russia could use a nuke in Ukraine and more than likely not experience a nuclear retaliatory strike, the US could use a nuke in Iran with no strategic military response. There would be economic and diplomatic consequences, but no one would launch a nuke at the US if they took out Tehran.

Iran-Backed Houthi Rebels Take Strategic Port City in Yemen, Raising Threat to Red Sea Shipping

The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group on Thursday took over Yemen’s port city of Mokha, an area vital to controlling shipping through the Red Sea, Houthi and Yemeni officials said.

The Bab el-Mandeb's importance to global oil supplies has grown since shipping through the nearby Strait of Hormuz has been impeded by Iran during its war with the United States and Israel.
 
CNN reports that the U.S. has expanded intelligence and targeting support specifically for Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against the Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen. More than 100 U.S. military personnel are reportedly dedicated to that effort, with one U.S. official putting the number at roughly 200, operating as part of a newly established joint forces command.
 
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued a warning to commercial vessels operating near the Strait of Hormuz after receiving a report that two vessels were struck by unknown projectiles approximately 4 nautical miles west of Khasab, Oman, with at least one vessel reportedly catching fire
 
Breaking: being reported that the East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia has been struck by Houthi ballistic missiles, and it’s now on fire.

Satellite imagery shows a very large smoke plume, and NASA FIRMS’ data shows 5 large hotspots south of Medina, coinciding perfectly with the oil pipeline itself.The data was recorded around 17:56 UTC.

The pipeline is the main way Saudi Arabia bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.

Image reportedly shows the smoke plume from the ground. We are working on geolocating it and cannot independently verify it at this time, but we have found no earlier instances of the image online

 
Houthis have also captured Mocha, a key port on the Red Sea, deepening the oil supply crisis. Seeing multiple reports.


I have not been able to independently verify the pipeline story. Only seeing it on social media, no news media yet.
 
Pakistan warns Iran to "rein in Houthis," bringing another nuclear-armed state into the Middle East War.

 
Spike in Brent Oil prices well over $100/barrel due to attacks on tankers and Houthi attacks on oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.


As of September 11, 2026, Brent crude oil has surged to $107.6 per barrel. This increase is primarily attributed to escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly due to recent attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels:
  • Seizure of Mokha: The Houthis have taken control of the Yemeni port of Mokha, which is strategically located near the Bab Al Mandab Strait. This area is crucial for global shipping and oil transport.
  • Attacks on Saudi Infrastructure: The Houthis have launched multiple strikes on Saudi oil facilities, further heightening concerns about supply disruptions.
  • Market Reaction: The market has responded to these developments with a significant rise in oil prices, reflecting fears of ongoing supply constraints.
  • Global Oil Supply: The situation has intensified worries about the stability of oil supplies, especially as the Bab Al Mandab Strait is a vital route for oil shipments.
What I've seen in the markets leads me to believe that the pipeline story is accurate, at least to some extent.
 
Over the last 18 hours, Ansarallah continued their lightning offensive in southwestern Yemen, and have officially captured the entirety of the Red Sea coast. After the withdrawal of Saudi-backed PLC forces from the port city of Mocha, Ansarallah continued their push southwards along the highway, quickly entering and capturing the port town of Dhubab without much resistance. From there, they advanced further south and seized the last Red Sea coastal town of Murad, thereby capturing the entire Red Sea Coast (except for a small stretch of land in northwestern Yemen).
