This is a major escalation of the war. As yet unreported in most US corporate media. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war.

This is going to hurt and Trump will rightfully get the blame no matter how much he whines that it's not his fault
Some physical oil cargoes top $130 a barrel, nearing April's record, on Saudi disruptions reut.rs/4gXkqra
Some physical oil cargoes top $130 a barrel, nearing April's record, on Saudi disruptions
Prices for some physical oil cargoes in Europe have jumped to more than $130 a barrel on Tuesday, approaching record highs reached in April, as buyers rush to find alternatives to Middle East supplies facing increasing disruptions from intensifying conflict in the region.

I was wondering why Trump refused to defend Saudi pipelines. Now it makes sense. Cause an oil shortage just in time for elections. Keep people away from the polls.
For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession.
Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

Saudi Arabia halts oil shipments out of Yanbu, a major Saudi port on the Red Sea.
If they can't get oil out via the Gulf (because Iran has blocked Hormuz) and they can't get oil out via the Red Sea, their economy—and by extension, domestic stability and international power—is in serious trouble.

There is a lot of uncertainty. I had done an estimate based on the IEA August oil report, but while speaking to @oovrebo.bsky.social @energiogklima.no the IEA September report dropped, changing from a 1.6mb/d to 2.5mb/d drop in oil. What happens next in the Middle East?

Saudi Arabia could face the biggest threat to its existence ever. With oil exports shuttered and no money coming in, it will be forced to sell treasuries for liquidity which the US will oppose because it will cause yields to spike. Thus, they could be pushed into a balance of payments crisis.
