Summary

Saudi Arabia is readying a major campaign utilizing more than 100,000 Yemeni soldiers to fight the Houthis, with possible strikes on the Bab el-Mandeb strait or various other locations, following the official government's decision to restart combat activities. This initiative seeks to safeguard the Bab el-Mandeb area, ensure the safety of maritime traffic, and bolster the leverage of the legitimate Yemeni administration in future talks. This intensification is expected to influence Red Sea transport, maritime insurance costs, and global petroleum prices. Riyadh relies on a functional Yemeni governance framework to maintain control over any seized regions. While military gains are possible, they do not ensure the political downfall of the Houthis, and there is a persistent danger that the mission could expand into a protracted conflict.
