Reuters reports that most Gulf stock markets eased after Houthi attacks struck Saudi oil facilities on the Red Sea coast, deepening regional instability. Qatari equities were among those affected as investors weighed the widening reach of Iranian-backed Houthi operations. The attacks renew scrutiny of Qatar's historic relationships with actors in the Iranian axis: critics have long accused Doha of hedging between its Gulf neighbors and Tehran-aligned groups, and past reporting has alleged Qatari payments reaching Houthi-linked networks — claims Doha denies. As Saudi Arabia absorbs direct strikes on its energy infrastructure, Qatar's comparatively insulated position and its continued engagement with Iran draw fresh questions from regional critics.
