Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis announced on Saturday that they executed operations targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu and Jizan. Social media video footage confirms the incident, showing smoke rising over Jizan, Saudi Arabia. Separately, reports indicate that data centers, rather than Iran, are the primary drivers behind the upcoming energy crisis in the U.S. These events highlight simultaneous regional security tensions in the Middle East and domestic infrastructure challenges regarding energy consumption within the United States.
