Story summary

Oil prices have risen sharply to over $107 per barrel following a series of recent attacks and closures in the Middle East. On September 14, talks between Gulf nations and Iran were cancelled, coinciding with increased fighting in Yemen that raised fears of the closure of the Bab el-Mandeb waterway and further restrictions on maritime traffic via the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia also shut down a critical pipeline after drone attacks. The shutdown of the East-West oil pipeline has disrupted up to 4% of global oil supply, with concerns over its impact on the port of Yanbu's ability to cover just five to seven days of exports. Analysts warn that these events could signify prolonged unrest in the region, extending for "at least months more."
