🇸🇦 🇾🇪 🇺🇸 🇾🇪 — The New York Times, quoting American and Saudi officials: Saudi Arabia is facing "the worst-case scenarios" after President Trump's refusal to intervene militarily against the Houthis. The country does not want to confront them alone. Furthermore, the Houthis' potential control of the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, coinciding with instability in the Strait of #Hormuz, could represent "the worst-case scenario" for the region.
