Saudi Arabia Targets Houthis Over Red Sea Blockade
Saudi Arabia is considering implementing a military strike against the Yemeni Houthi movement to halt their latest advances and to gain control over the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The options on the table include a limited attack on the area around the strait or a broader assault involving multiple fronts across Yemen. It is estimated that more than 100,000 Yemeni soldiers could be mobilized for the operation. This plan is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to regain control of coastal areas and protect its economic interests, particularly oil facilities and infrastructure, with limited support from regional allies, and to safeguard maritime navigation security in the Red Sea amid escalating regional and international tensions.
