Saudi Arabia’s dilemma when trying to get out of the US-Iran war

In return, the Saudis pump as much oil as they can – five million barrels a day – through their east-west pipeline to an export terminal in the Red Sea, on the opposite coast, at Yanbu.

From there, it is loaded onto tankers headed south, to the Arabian Sea and Asian markets.

So far so good.

But in the year It was the strike. Yemen’s Saudi-backed government claims it.He said he wanted to prevent the Iranian plane from landing. In response to The Houthis attacked Saudi airfields in the region in Abha and Jizan.

More worrying for Riyadh, the Houthis have begun attacking Saudi shipping in the Red Sea, making it extremely dangerous for ships to pass through the narrow Bab el Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea. This has also choked Saudi Arabia’s oil exports to Asia.

Saudi Arabia has spent seven years unsuccessfully trying to subdue the Houthis with bombs.

The war in Yemen is one of the humanitarian disasters of our time and the damage is still being seen.

In the year Saudi Arabia has agreed to an uneasy truce with the Houthis in 2022, and there have been reports of good results, but now the richest country, Saudi Arabia, is threatened by drone and missile attacks from its southern neighbor, at the same time as attacks from Iraq to the north.

None of this is envisaged in the Riot 2030 plans.
