The Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has vowed a ruthless campaign against Saudi Arabia, threatening airports, ports, and blockades. Over the past two weeks, the Yemeni militia has attacked Saudi-linked tankers in the Red Sea and oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu. Shipping through the Bab al-Mandab strait has fallen to its lowest level in months. The Houthis aim to wring concessions from the kingdom by disrupting maritime trade and energy infrastructure, escalating a long-running conflict.
