Iran's president says they are in a full-scale war with the US.
The Houthi rebels in Yemen have also threatened to block Saudi ports, which could make things worse.
The fighting has caused oil prices to go up.

Qatar and Pakistan are leading diplomatic efforts to revive the interim deal.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply due to the conflict.
Iran warns of a full-scale war and potential broader conflict involving Houthi rebels.
Oil prices have surged due to supply fears, with Brent crude at $97.14 and WTI at $96.96 per barrel on June 9, 2026.
