"The ball is in the Saudis' playing field. It is their decision to stop this war." Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, senior spokesman for the Iran-backed Houthis, tells me Saudi Arabia is the target of the group's latest escalation to force the country to end its blockade of Yemen. The militant group's lightning advance saw it seize islands in the Red Sea, giving it greater control over the the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, another crucial oil shipping alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. 🌍
