The decline in Saudi Arabia's ability to bypass the Strait of Hormuz has forced it to direct larger quantities of its oil exports through the Strait, especially after attacks on pipelines and commercial ships, as well as increased Houthi control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. A report from Marisks noted that escalating clashes between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are intensifying the risk of retaliatory attacks on Saudi territory and infrastructure.
