> Saudi Arabia is moving to restore its vital East-West oil pipeline, reportedly aiming to bring it back to half capacity within days as Houthi attacks pressure the kingdom’s energy flows. Riyadh says the Houthis targeted Mecca and calls it a “red line,” while the Houthis say commercial vessels will be spared except those linked to Saudi Arabia.
