Analysis: Sanaa lacks military and economic readiness for large-scale conflict
The Foreign Policy magazine reveals that the Yemeni Houthi militia risks unleashing a full-scale confrontation with Saudi Arabia in service of Iranian agendas by escalating their operations in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The analysis shows that Iran has used the Houthis to threaten strategic maritime routes, especially after activating the Bab el-Mandeb front and intensifying attacks on Saudi Arabia, which has led to rising oil prices surpassing $100 per barrel for Brent crude. Despite their escalation, the Houthis face existential strategic risks, as their actions could prompt Saudi Arabia to respond with a large-scale ground war inside Yemen—risks that threaten civilians and further devastate the already collapsing Yemeni economy.
