Iran war spreads to Red Sea and Caspian as Gulf quiet
The Houthis said Saudi oil facilities are now targets as Iran accused Ukraine of killing one sailor in a Caspian Sea vessel attack.

- Following 13 consecutive nights of strikes, President Donald Trump has paused US operations against Iran, citing concerns about expanding the conflict, while the Saudi-led military alliance bombed Houthi positions in Hodeidah on Friday.
- Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned Ukraine's chargé d'affaires to protest an attack on a commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, describing the strike as "hostile and criminal" per state news agency IRNA.
- Escalating Houthi-Saudi fighting threatens a second major shipping route near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, compounding risks to energy supplies already disrupted by the Iranian blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
