Fundamentals: Iran has condemned Saudi Arabia for its involvement in the military intervention in Yemen and demanded an immediate halt to all actions. The fear of potential disruptions to oil supplies in the region has prompted Egypt, which is allied to the Arab nation, in sending naval vessels to secure key shipping routes in the Gulf of Aden. Fellow GCC member Kuwait is said to be raising security levels at its domestic and foreign oil facilities in light of the developments in Yemen. The conflict may undermine ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran whose stocks of crude held offshore in its fleet of super tankers are thought to stand at 30 million from bbls, a rise from a previous estimate of 20 million bbls. Meanwhile, officials have revealed that oil deliveries from Iraq via Turkey have totalled 47 million bbls since the start of 2014.
