Iran and Saudi Arabia, two countries that support opposite sides in the Yemen war, spoke on Thursday night about the escalation of tensions in the region. This communication represents a moment of dialogue between the two rival powers in the context of the Yemeni conflict.
Oil prices are expected to end the week above $100 per barrel, which had not happened in four months. This rise is related to the growing attacks along important shipping routes in the Middle East.
