Riyadh is weighing two options: a focused coastal push around Bab el-Mandeb or a broader multi-front campaign across Yemen, with more than 100,000 Yemeni troops potentially mobilized and Saudi air power in support, Reuters reports, citing regional and Western officials.
The main objective is Bab el-Mandeb, the strategic southern gateway to the Red Sea, which the Houthis seized in September. With the Strait of Hormuz already heavily disrupted by the Iran war, control of Bab el-Mandeb gives the group major leverage over one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
The US is providing intelligence and targeting support, while Pakistan and Turkey have supplied military equipment. But Reuters says Washington is not expected to join the fighting directly.
