Saudi Arabia's Strategies Against Houthis

The rapid advance of the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen has led to an escalation in attacks against Saudi Arabia, the suspension of operations on a major Saudi oil pipeline, and the Houthis' control over the strategic Bireen Island and Al-Makha port. This situation complicates the Kingdom's options for response. Although Saudi Arabia possesses a modern military and limited international support, the Houthis have demonstrated their ability to challenge. The most likely scenario now is that Saudi Arabia may resort to broad military escalation—an option that is costly and carries the risk of expanding the conflict to include Iran and deepening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Reports also indicate that the international community has failed to support efforts to end the conflict, and that Saudi Arabia might turn to full-scale war if the escalation continues, despite ongoing U.S. calls to avoid direct intervention.
