Saudi Arabia said Friday it shut down a major pipeline a day after it was attacked by drones, and Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels captured a strategic island at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, two officials said, opening a new front in the Iran war. The Houthis made their biggest territorial gains in years along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s key shipping lanes. The advance could boost Iran’s strategy of driving up world oil and gas prices to pressure the United States. Saudi Arabia said it had shut down the East-West pipeline after it was attacked the day before. The Saudi Ministry of Energy called the shutdown “a precautionary measure.” The Saudi Foreign Ministry blamed the attack on several drones that came from Iraq. In a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, the kingdom said it would not respond to give the Iraqi government “an opportunity to take the necessary measures.”

For the first time in over 30 years, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Northern cod stock has been deemed “healthy” by Ottawa. In June, Fisheries and Oceans Canada upgraded the cod stock’s status from “critical” to “healthy” and simultaneously increased the commercial quota for cod by 55 percent, to 59,000 tonnes a year. Newfoundlanders say the move has left them hopeful, but also trepidatious after the devastating experience of a 32-year moratorium. “This is the most hope we’ve had in Newfoundland for the cod fishery in years,” said Alberto Wareham, owner of Icewater Seafoods, a fish processing plant 150-kilometres west of St. John’s. “[But] nobody wants to repeat what happened in 1992.”
