Saudi Energy Under Pressure: France said it will deploy troops, radars and air-defense systems to protect Saudi oil facilities at Yanbu as Houthi missiles and drones target the Red Sea energy corridor; Saudi officials also reported intercepting six ballistic missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu. Regional Defense Coordination: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye held urgent military-level talks under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement to coordinate support for Riyadh amid Houthi attacks, while Erdogan said the pact is not aimed at Iran or Israel. Hormuz Deal Standoff: Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks within seven days if the US lifts its naval blockade, waives oil sanctions and observes a ceasefire including Lebanon, but Iran also signaled it will not budge on its nuclear program. Industry/Trade Risk: Oil prices eased on truce hopes but remained sensitive to renewed Houthi strikes and Hormuz uncertainty, with markets watching whether Red Sea and Hormuz disruptions will persist.
