Red Sea attacks spur fears of expanding Middle East war
Attacks on Saudi tankers in the Red Sea by Houthi militants and US military movements in the Gulf have raised concerns about escalating Middle East conflict. Iranian strikes on US facilities, which killed three soldiers, prompted speculation about Russian involvement, while tensions pushed oil prices above $98 for the first time since June.
