Houthi Attacks and Saudi Arabia's Security
First report 5h agoLast update 1h agoSaudi Arabia is caught between Iran and the Houthis, partly due to US incompetence, with Houthi attacks exposing the kingdom to a second maritime front and threatening Vision 2030.
Iran views the Houthi militia as a 'cheap card' that has lost much of its capabilities and influence, while Saudi Arabia's past Yemen intervention shapes current decisions.
Houthi attacks have significantly reduced Saudi oil exports from Yanbu, with reports of a missile strike on a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea.
The Houthi militia does not desire peace, and the US may resume strikes to prevent them from threatening international navigation.
