Thursday on the News Hour, Iran-backed Houthi rebels fire on Saudi vessels in the Red Sea, threatening yet another crucial shipping lane and causing oil prices to spike. President Trump shies away from pressuring China over his claims of election interference. Plus, the FDA considers loosening restrictions on peptides, which have gained popularity thanks to influencers touting purported benefits.
