Khalid bin Salman Calls for Yemen De-escalation
Reuters revealed that Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman urged the U.S. administration during his meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris to avoid escalating the confrontation with the Houthi group in Yemen and to refrain from executing new strikes against them. This comes amidst escalating Houthi activities in the Red Sea, where they imposed a naval blockade and attacked Saudi oil tankers, leading to Saudi airstrikes and renewed efforts to form an international coalition to protect navigation in the region. The Red Sea has gained strategic importance, especially following disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz, which threaten the continuity of shipping traffic and increase pressure on global oil markets.
