Pro-Iranian rebels capture oil route

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 01:30

Pro-Iranian Houthis announced they had taken control of Perim island, located in the Red Sea. This island is strategically important because it provides access to the Red Sea, a crucial maritime route for oil transportation.

As a result of this action, the Houthis banned Saudi oil tankers from the region. This measure represents a significant escalation in tensions between the rebels and Saudi Arabia, which has been one of the main adversaries of the Houthi group in the Yemeni conflict.

The capture of this naval route threatens to directly impact Saudi Arabia's oil exports, one of the world's largest crude exporters. The Red Sea is one of the main shipping routes for transporting hydrocarbons between the Middle East and Europe.

Why this matters

The measure directly affects Saudi oil exports, as the Red Sea is a crucial route for transporting crude to international markets. Readers in the region face potential increases in fuel prices and greater geopolitical instability in an area already marked by conflict in Yemen.
