Houthis targeting Saudi Arabia or American terrorists

In the face of the USA's escalation against Iran, the Bab Al-Mandab is now closed to Saudi oil exports. That is going to bring Saudi Arabia to its knees, thinking that it could work around the Strait of Hormuz by using the Red Sea for its oil exports.

Saudi Arabia fought a war against the Yemen Houthis before, from 2015 to 2022, with USA support, while the Houthis were supported by Iran. There is really no love lost between the two countries. That peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran brokered by China provided some temporary relief to stop Iran from aiding the Houthis. That is going to end for sure. Closing the Bab Al-Mandab to Saudi vessels is telling. It is a direct and intentional hit against Saudi Arabia. The Gulf States can talk until the cows come home about countering the move by the Houthis. They had better put their resources trying to protect what they still have around the Persian Gulf.
