Sicilian Najdorf 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 h5(B90)

Keeping Up With The Sharpest Sicilian 2012
TWIC 939
Sicilian Najdorf 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 h5 is a very popular line. The kingside restraint plan slows down the traditional kingside pawn storm allowing time for black to get going on the queenside.

In the featured game, the slow plan 13.a3 is not dangerous and the result was not related to the opening so black has nothing to worry about.

Position 1
Both sides are fighting hard for the initiative and for now black seems fine with pressure on the c-file. What do you recommend for white now?
