> Saudi Aramco cuts its flagship oil price for Asia to a six-year low as the Iran war weighs on OPEC+ production. Oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz continue to recover despite regional tensions, while Saudi-backed Yemeni forces seek to retake Houthi-held areas. Iran faces mounting economic strain, and the Pentagon redeploys bombers from a UK base. Pakistan says talks tied to the Mecca pact will be held in Riyadh.
