> Gulf states delayed a critical meeting with Iran over the future of the Strait of Hormuz, citing a lack of Arab consensus amid rising Saudi anger over Tehran’s support for the Houthis. The postponement followed fresh Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets and an attack that shut Saudi Arabia’s east-west oil pipeline, helping push prices above $108 a barrel.
