  "summary": "Saudi Arabia and Yemen have jointly condemned the recent attack on a UAE oil tanker passing through the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as an \"assault on global energy security\". The UAE had previously blamed Iran for the attack, a claim echoed by Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, and Syria. In their joint statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the gravity of the incident, stating that such attacks undermine the security and safety of maritime navigation and global energy supplies. They further held Iran accountable for the repercussions of its ongoing aggression and urged Iran to immediately cease such violations. Yemen's Ministry of Foreign Affairs echoed these sentiments, describing the attack as a serious threat to maritime security and commercial vessels.",
