Brent Hits $100 Again as Houthi Attacks Threaten Further Supply Squeeze

Brent crude rose back to $100 a barrel for the first time in two months, as Houthi attacks raised fears of additional supply disruptions. The move followed statements by Iran-backed Houthi militants that they attacked two Saudi tankers. The article links the price jump to a widening Middle East conflict and the resulting concern about tanker security and crude flows. While no further details on damages, timing, or production impact are provided, the $100 level marks a notable psychological and trading milestone after a two-month period below that figure. The development also highlights how maritime tensions can quickly translate into energy-market volatility.
