Experts: Blockade harms Saudi economy
The Yemeni armed forces have adopted a decision to impose a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, a move considered a strategic escalation that reflects the "siege by blockade" approach. This measure comes after more than twelve years of aggression and ongoing blockade, and aims to exert significant economic pressure on the Saudi regime—particularly because Saudi Arabia has shifted its oil exports to the port of Yanbu, transporting more than 12 million barrels daily. Military experts have confirmed that the decision threatens Saudi Arabia's naval and economic interests and increases the costs of maintaining the blockade, accompanied by warnings not to provide any facilitation from regional countries, and tying this to deterring Saudi Arabia and forcing it to respond to negotiations. The blockade is also expected to cause an economic crisis for Saudi Arabia, especially given the decline in global oil reserves. It demonstrates that Yemen now possesses strong tools of pressure against Saudi Arabia, including military actions, maritime and aerial escalation, along with growing popular support for the decision.
