Saudi Arabia limits options against Houthis
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has intensified its stance against the threats posed by the Houthis, especially after an escalation in attacks targeting airports and vital facilities, as well as threats to maritime security in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Council of Ministers affirmed that the Houthis will face consequences for their attacks on sensitive sites, particularly Mecca and Medina, emphasizing that the security of the Kingdom and maritime freedom will not be allowed to be threatened. This comes alongside reports of coalition airstrikes on oil facilities in Sanaa, though there has been no official confirmation regarding the extent of the damage. Saudi Arabia faces a more complex dilemma, as continued attacks impose security and economic costs, which may lead the Kingdom to reassess its approach. There are possibilities of expanding military operations or increasing cooperation with regional countries to ensure the security of the Red Sea and the region.
