Houthi Threat to Saudi Arabia
The Yemen-based Ansar Allah movement, led by Abdul Malik al-Houthi, responded to Saudi threats by pointing out that the current balance of power is maintained between Yemen's and Saudi Arabia's airports and ports, after the strikes on Sana'a Airport. Houthi officials warned of targeting oil and vital infrastructure in Saudi Arabia if it becomes involved in the aggression against Yemen, demanding that Riyadh lift its blockade and cease interference in Yemen's affairs. Diplomatic sources indicate that the Houthi escalation reflects Iran's desire to exploit the situation by threatening Saudi Arabia, and that Iran is preparing for the possibility of closing the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait to pressure the United States and the Gulf states if the confrontation intensifies.
