Iran and Saudi Arabia, which support opposing sides in the Yemen war, spoke on Thursday night about the escalating tensions in the region. This dialogue between the two countries comes at a time of growing instability in the Middle East.
For the first time in four months, oil prices are expected to end the week above $100 per barrel. This rise in prices is related to the growing attacks along important shipping routes in the region.
Fears of a prolonged oil supply disruption have been increasing, fueling volatility in energy markets. The situation in Yemen continues to be a point of tension between the two regional powers.
