Flights have been halted at Saudi Arabia's Jeddah airport amid Yemen attacks, with Yemeni forces attacking Saudi sites with drones and missiles, according to Iranian media

Attacks on airports and urban sites have tended to produce a short-lived risk bid in crude and gold that fades once supply continuity is confirmed, whereas successful hits on processing or export facilities have carried a more durable premium through the physical barrel channel. The attribution via Iranian media matters as much as the event itself: episodes of this kind have tended to escalate through a tit-for-tat sequence, and the read-through on Iranian involvement shapes whether this stays a contained Houthi-Saudi exchange or broadens into shipping risk in the Red Sea and the Gulf, where freight and insurance rates are the early tell. Jeddah sits on the Red Sea coast, so any suspension of aviation or port activity there touches the same corridor already sensitive to maritime disruption. Worth watching next is Saudi and coalition confirmation of damage, any retaliatory strikes, and whether crude pricing moves beyond the headline bid into timespreads, which is where genuine supply concern shows up. Until infrastructure damage is verified, the established pattern is fade rather than follow-through.
