👈 The New York Times, citing U.S. and Saudi officials: Saudi Arabia is facing the “worst scenarios” after Trump declined to intervene militarily against the Houthis.

Saudi Arabia does not want to take on the Houthis alone, especially after its previous military operation in Yemen turned into a war that lasted about a decade, yet did not achieve its goals.

Any new confrontation would require international support and should not rely only on Saudi Arabia and the countries in the region.

The likelihood of the Houthis taking control of the Bab al-Mandeb, alongside instability in the Strait of Hormuz, is creating the “worst scenario” for the region.

Despite years of bombing by Saudi Arabia, the U.S., and Israel against the Houthis, “no one has reached a military solution” to deal with them”
