TL;DR

Chevron CEO Michael Wirth warns of the very real risk to oil flows in the Red Sea, with potential for rapid price changes if tensions lead to a major supply disruption in the Middle East. Shell has suspended shipments through the Red Sea, following attacks by Houthi militants. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan calls for a unified global response to the Houthi threat, while analysts highlight the potential for a regional conflict to disrupt crude oil flows. Chevron has experienced attacks on its ships by the Iranian Navy, and Iran recently seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman.
