Houthi militants have struck Riyadh's airport, killing 14 people and prompting Saudi Arabia to vow a serious military response. This escalation threatens to disrupt regional oil flows and undermines Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 economic goals, which rely on foreign investment and stability. The incident coincides with fresh tanker strikes near Oman and rising US-Ukraine tensions over Russian energy infrastructure, creating a complex geopolitical backdrop that could drive oil prices higher and increase volatility in energy and shipping sectors.
