Mine was a little more... relax: Why doesn't some one just go retrieve the oil? I suppose towing the ship away is a little risky, but reloading the oil should be do able.
Just tell the Saudis that while we might not approve of their war in Yemen, they can go get the oil and sell it at regular market price.
