  Attacks Remain Contained

  Saudi authorities confirm interceptions or minor impacts but report no sustained interruption to oil flows or military operations. This is the most likely path because many Houthi claims historically involve partial interceptions, limited damage, or symbolic targeting meant to raise negotiating leverage.

  Oil Disruption Verified

  Saudi officials or shipping data confirm a temporary interruption to a pipeline, processing facility, or storage node. The market reaction is centered on crude prices and energy equities, with moderate spillover into inflation expectations and risk assets.

  Saudi Retaliation Expands

  Riyadh responds with strikes on Houthi missile and drone infrastructure in Yemen, likely with intelligence or logistical support from the United States and regional partners. This raises the risk of another Houthi salvo against energy, airports, or Red Sea shipping.

  Diplomatic Offramp Opens

  Oman, the UN, or another intermediary uses the attack cycle to reopen indirect talks, possibly linking de-escalation to humanitarian or financial concessions. This is less likely after the recent Houthi demand for $51 billion, but both sides may still prefer a pause if retaliation risks damage to strategic assets.
