armed clash expired 75% Conflict

Saudi crude oil exports via the Red Sea are increasingly operating under 'dark' conditions, with vessels switching off tracking systems to evade attacks from Yemen’s Houthi rebels. This dark shipping complicates export monitoring, coinciding with heightened regional tensions involving Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz.
