> Saudi oil exports dropped to their lowest level in nine years, reaching about 3 million barrels a day in August as tanker attacks increased in the Red Sea. Oil prices held steady after a recent rally. Trump said strikes on Iran could be short-lived and warned the US could attack at any time; the US also escorted 18 million barrels through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.
