The Houthis’ rapid advances—seizing Bab al-Mandeb and threatening Perim Island and Mocha—have narrowed Saudi options and heightened the risk of wider conflict, with analysts noting limited strategic room for Riyadh and uncertainty over U.S. involvement under Trump.

Elena Vasquez Saudi Arabia has few good options left if the Houthis keep closing key routes and pushing oil prices higher for everyone.
