DUBAI 每 Two oil tankers carrying Saudi crude to Asia reversed course in the Red Sea on Tuesday after threats from Yemen＊s Iran-aligned Houthis, as a widening Middle East conflict disrupted shipping through two of the world＊s most critical energy chokepoints.
U.S. forces bombed targets in the south and west of Iran overnight, while Iran targeted U.S. sites in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan and a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf.
Iran said it had struck infrastructure belonging to Amazon in Bahrain, where the U.S. tech company ?operates a regional data center. Amazon did not immediately comment and the report could not immediately be verified.
