Saudi Arabia forms Red Sea military coalition
Saudi Arabia is working on forming a new maritime military alliance to protect navigation in the Red Sea, aiming to counter attacks carried out by the Houthi group in Yemen and to safeguard Saudi oil export routes, which are at risk and impact the global economy. Saudi Arabia has invited around 50 countries to join this alliance led by it, and 14 countries have agreed to support the initiative, including Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan. The participation of the United States and Europe remains unclear. It is noted that the alliance seeks to enhance maritime security, facilitate intelligence sharing, and conduct naval drills and operations. Sources emphasize that it is focused on defense and does not target any specific country. The alliance is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to address the deterioration of maritime security in the region caused by escalating Houthi threats, especially following the maritime blockade and attacks on Saudi ships since July, due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the difficulty of exporting oil through alternative routes.
