CBS reported senior Secret Service officials said threats against the president and agents rose sharply over the past year. Director Sean Curran said “This is unprecedented. Threats against the people we protect full time rose by slightly more than 40% YoY — a substantial increase.”

Attacks on a Saudi airport and a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz heightened supply-risk concerns, pushing oil higher in early trade. WTI rose as much as 1.0% to $91.88/bbl; Brent climbed to $103.70/bbl. Year-to-date global benchmark oil prices have gained over 70% amid sustained US-Iran hostilities with no clear resolution. Although Gulf producers have largely restored exports via the Strait to near pre-conflict levels, a surge in tanker attacks and rising regional tensions could threaten flows. Traders also monitored Hurricane Isaias, which caused power outages across three US states and at least four deaths; the US Department of Energy said it will approve emergency swaps of up to 4 mln barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to ease hurricane-related supply disruptions.

On the evening of the 11th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi spoke by phone with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal about the regional situation. Araghchi expressed concern at rising tensions, warned that relying on military measures rather than political solutions would complicate the situation, said there is no military solution to the crisis, and offered Iran's full assistance to facilitate dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Yemen toward a political settlement.
