Is Saudi Arabia losing Yemen leverage
The equations of the conflict in Yemen have changed, as Saudi Arabia now faces greater challenges in managing the war, especially with the development of Yemeni defensive capabilities and their targeting of economic interests and maritime trade. Over the years, it has become clear that the siege did not weaken Yemen but rather pushed it to develop its own military industries, which threaten Saudi interests in protecting its oil installations and shipping routes. This increases the costs of military and economic warfare for both sides. As the confrontation escalates to security and economic levels, it becomes increasingly difficult for Saudi Arabia to sustain its management of the conflict due to rising costs, while Yemen is betting on Yemeni-Saudi negotiations that balance the parties and ease the severity of the escalation.
