Middle East crisis live: Houthi foreign ministry says ‘worse yet to come’ if Saudi strikes continue

The Houthi foreign ministry has warned that the situation in the Middle East will worsen if Saudi Arabia continues its strikes against the Houthi rebels. This comes as US President Donald Trump considers whether the US will join Saudi Arabia in its military action against the Iran-backed group. The escalating tensions have significant implications for global markets, particularly for oil prices, as the conflict involves key oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The situation may lead to increased volatility in the global economy.

Why it matters

The Houthi foreign ministry's warning of worse to come and the US president's consideration of joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis increase the likelihood of further escalation in the Middle East crisis. This escalation could lead to higher oil prices
