Middle East conflict escalates: Iran, Houthis threaten oil supplies as drone debris kills one, injures two in Saudi Arabia

We are closing this live coverage now. For the latest updates, click here.

Anxiety over a recent drone attack that disabled Saudi Arabia's vital East-West pipeline to the Red Sea terminal of Yanbu has lessened. Traders responded positively to comments from US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who indicated the outage would be "temporary".

Reports of Saudi pipeline repairs gave Wall Street some relief. The decline in crude helped cool soaring US Treasury bond yields, triggering a relief rally on Wall Street that marked its strongest session in six weeks on Thursday.

Despite the relief, energy analysts note that the market remains highly volatile. Both benchmarks continue to trade substantially higher than their early 2026 averages, as the conflict keeps key shipping corridors like the Strait of Hormuz highly contested.

Reuters reported that three pumping stations ​serving the vital East-West Pipeline in Saudi Arabia were damaged ‌in an attack last week, citing satellite imagery and three industry sources.

Saudi Aramco operates the 1,200 km (745-mile) pipeline ​running across the Arabian Peninsula. While the repair timeline remains unclear, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicated the outage would be a temporary disruption measured "in days".

Crude oil prices extended their decline on Friday (September 18, 2026), building on a two-day losing streak as immediate Middle East supply anxieties eased.

As of 9:25 am Tokyo time, international benchmark Brent crude hovered near $103 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) remained near the $101 mark, pulling back from the multi-month highs of nearly $110 hit earlier in the week. Murban crude stood at $121 per barrel, down 1.95%.

The pull-back in global energy markets is driven by strategic logistical workarounds and infrastructural recovery, cushioning a market heavily pressured by the ongoing US–Iran conflict.

Supply panic cooled significantly after reports revealed that Saudi Arabia has begun offering additional crude cargoes to Asian refiners via ship-to-ship transfers outside the Gulf, near Oman’s Sohar port.

US President Donald Trump has said Iran wants to reach a deal with Washington but is not yet prepared to accept the terms he considers necessary, signaling that diplomacy remains possible even as the US-Iran war continues.

“Iran wants to make a deal; they're not ready, in my opinion. We're gonna either make a deal that's good, or we're not gonna make a deal at all,” Trump said in a statement posted by the White House @RapidResponse47 X account.

The comments came as Trump has increasingly portrayed the conflict as approaching a possible diplomatic end while simultaneously warning that the US could resume or intensify military action.

Trump said Thursday that the US was “hopefully toward the end” of the war and claimed that he had communicated directly with Iranian officials. Tehran has not publicly confirmed the details of the contact.

The US has sanctioned Iranian cryptocurrency exchange BitBank and its alleged network, accusing the platform of moving hundreds of millions of dollars to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and processing payments tied to shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Treasury Department announced the action under 'Operation Economic Outcast', Washington’s broader campaign to isolate Iran’s financial, commercial and logistical networks. The move targets what US officials describe as Tehran’s growing use of digital assets to bypass sanctions and maintain access to international finance.

Russia and China vetoed a United Nations resolution that would have authorised UN experts to keep monitoring sanctions that were reimposed against Iran last year over its nuclear programme.

The UN Security Council sanctions are still in effect, which freeze Iran’s assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran and penalise any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program, among other measures.

Using a provision in the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers France, Germany and the UK triggered the “snapback” mechanism, which reimposed the sanctions on Sept. 27, 2025. It restored the Security Council sanctions committee and authorised a panel of UN experts to monitor implementation.

The United States has approved a $24.3 billion sale of 48 F-35 stealth warplanes and related equipment to Saudi Arabia, the US State Department announced Thursday, in a significant boost to the kingdom's forces.

Saudi Arabia has long sought to buy F-35s, but officials from Israel -- the only country in the region to operate the jets -- have voiced concern about their sale to Riyadh despite a push for the kingdom to normalize relations.

"The proposed sale will improve Saudi Arabia's capability to deter current and future threats by strengthening its homeland defense, and improving interoperability with US forces," the State Department said in a statement.

The United States is allowing an Iranian delegation to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week, a State Department spokesman said Thursday, despite a war that has entered its seventh month.

A source familiar with the matter confirmed this would cover Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

"Consistent with our host country obligations, the core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend UN General Assembly High Level Week," the State Department spokesman said.

Fighting between the Houthis and Yemeni government forces and their Saudi backers has killed 63 people in the last 24 hours, military sources from both sides told AFP on Thursday.

At least 23 government soldiers were killed in missile and drone attacks by the Iran-backed group in two southwestern provinces, a government official said, while Houthi military sources reported 40 fighters killed in Saudi airstrikes and fighting on the ground.

The final round of the World Rally Championship (WRC) in Saudi Arabia in November has been cancelled due to the conflict in the Middle East, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) announced on Thursday.

The conflict has disrupted motorsports competitions throughout the region with the cancellation of the Formula One Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia and rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi in doubt.

"Ongoing regional developments mean that the WRC element of Rally Saudi Arabia will not proceed this year," FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said in a statement, adding however the Middle East Regional Rally Championship will go ahead as planned in Saudi Arabia in November.

"Our focus now is firmly on the future. We will continue working together with our partners in Saudi Arabia and WRC Promoter towards bringing the FIA World Rally Championship back in 2027."

The EU on Thursday voiced its "full solidarity" with Saudi Arabia as it condemned recent strikes on the kingdom by Iran-backed Houthi fighters, including what Riyadh says was an attack targeting Islam's holy city of Mecca.

"We urge the Houthis to cease all military action," said a statement from EU foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni, adding "the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is unacceptable."

Oman has issued a strong condemnation of the attack targeting the Holy City of Makkah, rejecting any violation of the sanctity of the holy sites or threat to worshippers' safety. The Sultanate voiced solidarity with Saudi Arabia over the measures it is taking to protect its security and sovereignty, and urged regional states to deepen cooperation on outstanding bilateral, regional and multilateral issues to secure stability and a dignified life for all.

The Bank of England held its benchmark interest rate at 3.75 percent on Thursday, but warned that a hike might be needed as the Middle East war pushes up energy prices.

The widely expected decision following a regular monetary policy meeting comes after the Federal Reserve on Wednesday lifted US interest rates for the first time since 2023, citing the need to combat surging inflation. 

"So far higher energy costs have had a limited effect on price and wage setting in the UK," Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey said. 

"But the longer this volatility persists, the bigger the impact it will have on inflation, and the more likely it is we will need to raise" the benchmark rate, he added.

A Yemeni resident was killed and two other people were injured after debris from an intercepted drone fell in Saudi Arabia’s Taif governorate on Thursday, the Saudi Civil Defence said.

A Civil Defence spokesperson said emergency teams responded after fragments from the drone fell in Taif following its interception and destruction. The drone had been launched by the Houthi militia, according to the statement.

A Saudi woman and a Pakistani resident were injured in the incident, with the Pakistani national reported to be in critical condition.

The falling debris also caused material damage to several buildings and vehicles, the Civil Defence said.

There are "reasonable grounds" to believe the US committed war crimes against civilians in Iran, who also face "gross human rights violations" from their own government, United Nations investigators said on Thursday.

In their latest report, due to be presented to the Human Rights Council on Monday, the independent investigators urged the 47 countries in the council to press for an end to the war, hold those responsible for war crimes to account and give asylum to civilians fleeing abroad.

Neither Iran, Israel nor the United States are members of the Human Rights Council.

"Following the United States and Israeli attacks on February 28, the mission found reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed the war crime of launching indiscriminate attacks resulting in the loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects," the investigators said.

"These included Tomahawk missile strikes on the clearly identifiable Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab -- which killed over 150 people, including approximately 120 girls and boys -- and another airstrike where precision strike missiles dispersed clouds of tungsten pellets over a clearly identifiable sports complex and residential area in Lamerd, killing 22 civilian men and women," they continued.

The UAE will combine deterrence and defence of its sovereignty with dialogue with Iran while ensuring that regional tensions do not derail its economic and development agenda, Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Adviser to the UAE President, said on Thursday.

Speaking at a session titled “Media Reinvented: Navigating an Era of Transformation”, on the final day of the Arab Media Summit in Dubai, Gargash said: "The UAE's current strategy centers on two parallel tracks: balancing immediate crisis management with long-term regional diplomacy and economic growth. This dual-track approach ensures the nation stays secure while continuing its push as a global economic leader."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace ahead of the opening of a preparatory meeting for a conference supporting Lebanon’s army and security forces under the Aqaba Initiative, the Lebanese presidency said in a statement on X.

The two presidents discussed efforts to end Israeli attacks on Lebanon amid Lebanese-American-Israeli negotiations and the proposed “Framework Agreement.”

Aoun thanked Macron for France’s support for Lebanon and his personal engagement with the country’s situation, including efforts to strengthen state authority, sovereignty and official security and military institutions.

Aoun also welcomed a French-Italian initiative concerning the post-UNIFIL phase.

The presidents agreed to maintain communication and expand cooperation, particularly in the economic and energy sectors, including efforts to resume oil and gas exploration in Lebanese offshore blocks.

US President Donald Trump is expected to meet leaders and foreign ministers from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week to discuss the next steps in the war with Iran, Axios reported, citing three sources.

According to Axios, citing sources, the meeting is expected to focus on US ideas for a postwar strategy as Trump and his senior team work on a day-after plan that is expected to be finalised after the midterm elections.

The State Department sent out initial invitations for the meeting on Wednesday, with one source saying the gathering could be expanded to include other Arab and Muslim leaders.

The meeting is expected to include representatives from the six GCC countries — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman.

This comes as Trump on Wednesday touted that he was hopeful that Washington is moving "towards the end of the war."

He also claimed that Iran wants to make a deal, saying the US had heard this directly from Iran.

The planned meeting comes as Gulf countries hosting US military bases suffered major Iranian attacks during the war while also facing significant economic losses from disruptions to oil and natural gas exports.

Axios, citing an Israeli source, further reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also wants to meet Trump in New York, although no meeting has been scheduled.

Human rights experts commissioned by the UN's top human rights body say they have found "reasonable grounds" to believe the United States committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran, including on a school in the southern city of Minab.

The international fact-finding mission on Iran says the findings center on a pair of airstrikes which killed at least 178 civilians, including women and children.

"Following the United States and Israeli attacks on February 28, the mission found reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed the war crime of launching indiscriminate attacks resulting in the loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects," the fact-finding team said in a statement.

The team also said that killings by state security forces occurred on a "staggering scale" in Iran.

It said civilians were caught between "gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by their own government and the nation's deadly conflict with the United States and Israel."

At the start of the war in February, at least one US missile hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh in Minab, according to an Associated Press investigation. There has been no final accounting of what happened. Iranian state media have said 168 people were killed in the strike, most of them children.

The leaders of France, Lebanon and Jordan on Thursday met in Paris to discuss international support for the cash-strapped Lebanese army and the creation of a new force to succeed a longstanding UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.

French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and King Abdullah II of Jordan. They were to be joined later by senior military officials from their countries and partner nations, such as Britain and the United States, for further discussions.

The talks come as the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL) ends this year after almost half a century of operations dating back to the Israeli invasion of 1978.

France and Italy have said they want to set up a multinational coalition to succeed UNIFIL.

The French presidency said the aim of the Paris talks was to review a Lebanese armed forces deployment plan based on a "clear, credible and realistic" framework.

Paris said it wanted the "operational context, parameters and modalities" of the deployment to be clarified at Thursday's discussions as a prerequisite for what it hopes will be "robust" international support, whether in the form of financial assistance, equipment or training.

Saudi strikes in Yemen killed one person and targeted three telecommunications towers on Thursday, Houthi media said, in the latest attacks since the Iran-backed group seized control of the entire Red Sea coast.

"Saudi warplanes targeted three telecommunications towers" in Taiz province, while one civilian was killed and another injured in strikes on the town of Abs, Almasirah television said.

On Wednesday, Riyadh accused the Houthis of launching a "cowardly" attack targeting Islam's holy city of Mecca, a claim they denied.

The Houthis have been reporting dozens of daily Saudi strikes since they seized control of strategic coastal areas overlooking the Bab Al Mandeb strait from Saudi-backed government forces.

Their latest territorial gains cement the hold of Iran and its allies on the two waterways that the wider Gulf, including top crude exporter Saudi Arabia, relies on to ship its oil.

The heads of state of Lebanon, France and Jordan will meet Thursday in Paris as part of an effort to drum up support for the struggling Lebanese military.

A donor conference for Lebanon's cash-strapped army was initially set to take place in February, led by France, Saudi Arabia and the United States. However, it was postponed following the eruption of the Iran war and the latest round of the Israel-Hezbollah war.

The Lebanese army has now found itself caught between the Israeli military - now occupying much of southern Lebanon - and Hezbollah. The militant group has refused calls to give up its weapons.

In June, the Lebanese and Israeli governments announced a framework agreement under which Israel would withdraw gradually from southern Lebanon and the Lebanese army would assume control, while Hezbollah would be disarmed. Implementation of the deal has stalled.

Thursday's meeting in Paris will center on preparing the ground for a donor conference. It will also focus on the situation in southern Lebanon and plans for an international presence there after the mandate of the U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL expires at the end of the year, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's office said in a statement.

A US-contracted vessel carrying American personnel was struck near the Strait of Hormuz in an Iranian attack involving drones and a missile, according to reports, in the latest escalation threatening one of the world's most important energy and shipping corridors.

Sources cited by Fox News said the vessel was targeted by four Iranian drones and at least one missile. One projectile struck the ship, causing minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, according to initial reports.

Several personnel were reportedly treated for their injuries.

The incident has not yet been accompanied by a detailed public account from the US military. The number and type of weapons involved cannot be immediately confirmed.

The attack comes as the confrontation between Washington and Tehran increasingly spills into commercial shipping. Iran has repeatedly targeted vessels around the Strait of Hormuz, while US forces have carried out strikes against Iranian maritime and military targets and is imposing a naval blockade on Iran.

US forces have also struck Iranian oil tankers, while Iran has claimed attacks against multiple ships in and around the Gulf.

US President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States is “hopefully toward the end” of its war with Iran, while claiming that Washington has been in direct contact with Tehran over a possible agreement.

Asked by reporters whether he had recently heard from the Iranian side, Trump said he had spoken with Iranian officials “directly”, according to reports published Thursday. He again said Iran was eager to reach a deal.

The comments represent the clearest recent indication from Trump that his administration sees a potential diplomatic pathway out of the nearly seven-month conflict — although there has been no announcement of a final agreement or ceasefire.

Iranian security forces tightened their presence across western cities on Wednesday as shopkeepers closed businesses and workers stayed home to mark the fourth anniversary of the death of Mahsa “Jina” Amini, whose death in police custody in September 2022 triggered one of the Islamic Republic’s largest anti-government protest movements.

The shutdown followed a call by an alliance of Iranian Kurdish political groups for a general strike on September 16, urging businesses to close and workers to remain at home.

Videos and reports reviewed by Iran International and other Iranian rights-monitoring outlets showed shuttered shops and bazaars in Saqqez, Sanandaj, Mahabad, Bukan, Oshnavieh, Paveh, Divandareh, Kermanshah and Marivan.

The UAE has condemned in the strongest terms the Houthi group’s attempt to target Mecca in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a drone.=

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) affirmed that the targeting constitutes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a threat to its security and stability.

The Ministry reaffirmed the UAE’s solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures aimed at safeguarding its security and stability.

The Gulf kingdom "reaffirms its legitimate right to take all necessary measures to defend the security of the two holy mosques, the pilgrims, and the entire Saudi territory, its citizens, and its residents," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

A destroyed aircraft, shredded tents, trailers that have been ripped apart: images taken by US troops show significant damage from Iranian strikes targeting American military assets in the Middle East, CBS News reported.

The undated images - taken at a base in Saudi Arabia and two facilities in Kuwait - were provided to CBS by American personnel on condition of anonymity due to US military restrictions, the outlet said late Tuesday.

"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," CBS quoted one US service member as saying.

"We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face," the service member added.

The Pentagon's inspector general released a report earlier this week that said the military's Central Command (CENTCOM) - which is responsible for US forces in the Middle East - had reported widespread damage to American facilities and equipment.

CENTCOM said Iranian strikes "damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures at US bases in the region," the report said.

"In addition, dozens of US aircraft were destroyed or damaged" during the war, the report said.

The Defence Department estimated the cost of the war at $33.4 billion as of June 29, but that figure "does not include costs for infrastructure repairs," according to the report.

Israeli forces carried out fresh airstrikes and artillery attacks across southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency, underscoring how fragile the June ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has become.

Recent attacks have hit areas around Nabatieh, including the Ali Al-Taher forest and the towns of Nabatieh Al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit, with multiple strikes reported in quick succession.

Israel has also carried out demolitions and other military operations in southern villages. Israel says its operations are aimed at Hezbollah military infrastructure and weapons activity.

On September 10, the Israeli military said it had destroyed a major underground Hezbollah complex at the Ali Al-Taher ridge, describing a roughly 2-km network containing weapons, command facilities and living quarters.

The operations followed renewed tensions after Hezbollah launched drone attacks toward Israel.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for urgent de-escalation across the Middle East, urging governments to return to diplomacy, protect civilians and humanitarian operations, and restore freedom of navigation amid the continuing Iran war and widening regional instability.

His appeal comes as the conflict is increasingly affecting the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, Yemen, and Gaza creating overlapping security, humanitarian and energy crises.

The UN chief's appeal comes as commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply. The disruption has therefore extended the consequences of the conflict well beyond the battlefield.

Iran has also imposed what it describes as new protocols for vessels using the waterway.

Guterres' call for freedom of navigation is significant because the issue is no longer simply about military vessels: commercial shipping, energy supplies, insurance costs and global trade are all being affected.

The United States reiterated its support for Yemen’s internationally recognised government and expressed solidarity with it against "Iran-backed Houthi aggression", the US Embassy in Yemen said on Wednesday.

The embassy said Chargé d’Affaires Jonathan Hop discussed the situation with Yemeni Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba and reaffirmed Washington’s backing for the government in Aden.

“The United States of America stands in solidarity with the Yemen government and its people against Iran-backed Houthi aggression,” the embassy said in a post on X.

Yemen’s government forces, meanwhile, said they have targeted Houthi positions and equipment near Mocha and carried out drone attacks in northern Marib.

UNICEF said at least nine children had been killed and more than 104,000 people displaced during two weeks of fighting in Yemen.

Oil prices fell after Saudi Arabia offered additional crude cargoes to Asian refiners through ship-to-ship transfers near Oman, easing fears that damage to a key Saudi pipeline would trigger a larger supply shock.

The move gives Riyadh a partial workaround — but does not remove the wider risk from conflict around the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.

Saudi Arabia's offer of loadings through ship-to-ship transfers off Sohar, Oman, followed drone attacks that damaged the kingdom’s East-West pipeline to the Red Sea, according to people familiar with the arrangements.

The additional supply is intended for Asian refiners and is designed to blunt the effect of the pipeline disruption. Brent crude settled down $2.92, or 2.7%, at $105.83 a barrel on Wednesday. WTI fell $3.40, or 3.2%, to $102.43. A smaller-than-expected draw in US crude inventories added to downward pressure on prices.

In early Asian trading on Thursday (Sept. 17, 2026 at 9.17 am Beijing time) WTI Crude fell by another 1.20% to $101.2, while Brent Crude dropped 1.43% to $104.3. Murban Crude was slightly up by 0.04% to $123.8, though prices remain significantly above levels seen before the latest regional escalation.

A war-damaged residential building collapsed in Gaza City early Wednesday, killing at least 21 people and injuring 45 others, according to Gaza's Civil Defence, as rescuers searched the rubble for survivors and bodies.

The six-storey Al Saada building in the Tal Al Hawa area of western Gaza City had been damaged by Israeli strikes earlier in the war. Gaza Civil Defence said the structure had been struck multiple times, including in 2024 and March 2025, and had previously been considered unsafe.

More than 100 displaced Palestinians were staying in the building, according to reports, including families who had nowhere else to go.

The collapse also affected nearby homes and tents. Civil Defence said its teams eventually recovered the bodies of 21 people and transported 45 injured people to hospitals.

The death toll includes children. Reports have differed on the exact number, with Palestinian sources cited by international media putting the number of children among the dead at between eight and 12.

The rescue operation was severely hampered by a lack of heavy machinery.

Civil Defence teams, residents and volunteers searched through tonnes of shattered concrete, at times digging by hand to reach people believed to be trapped underneath.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi rejected any plans for Palestinian displacement, hours after Israel's defence minister said the army would "finish the job" in Gaza and remove Palestinians.

During a visit by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, Sisi "reiterated Egypt's firm stance against the displacement of the Palestinian people or any attempt to annihilate the Palestinian cause".

Abbas praised Egypt's "steadfast positions", Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. Egypt shares the only land border with the Gaza Strip that is not controlled by Israel, and has since 2023 rejected plans to displace the territory's more than two million people into the Sinai Peninsula.

Israel's defence minister said Wednesday it was only a matter of time before the country resumes full-scale war in Gaza and moves to force out its two million Palestinians.

Israel Katz, who is known for outspoken remarks, was responding to criticism from another right-wing contender ahead of October 27 elections.

Katz said 70 percent of Gaza had already been emptied of its population in the Israeli offensive launched after the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas.

A US military task force is working to enhance intelligence sharing and planning assistance for Saudi forces, a US official said late on Tuesday, as the kingdom faces attacks from Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi fighters.

US Central Command "has a task force in place for enhancing intelligence sharing and planning support with Saudi forces," the official said on condition of anonymity, adding that the military command "maintains a strong security alliance with our Saudi partners in confronting regional challenges."

US Vice President JD Vance has warned that the widening Iran conflict could trigger a major energy crisis as disruptions spread across both of the Middle East's critical maritime chokepoints — the Strait of Hormuz and Bab Al Mandab.

The warning has become more consequential in recent days as Iran's pressure on shipping around Hormuz has coincided with a rapid Houthi advance along Yemen's Red Sea coast.

The Houthis said on Wednesday that Saudi Arabian jets had carried out 40 airstrikes over the past day targeting western Yemen, where the Iran-backed group recently made substantial gains along the Red Sea coast.

"Saudi warplanes launched 40 airstrikes using F15 aircraft that took off from Khamis Mushait Airbase, targeting the provinces of Taiz, Marib, and Hodeidah over the past 24 hours," the Houthi's military spokesman said Yahya Saree said in a statement on social media.
