🇸🇦🇮🇷 After initially refusing direct engagement following attacks on the kingdom, Ian Bremmer says Saudi Arabia has now agreed to participate in talks with Iran. What changed? Riyadh asked Washington for direct military help against the Houthis. Bremmer says the U.S. offered intelligence, but not renewed strikes. Pakistan has...

Riyadh is buying insurance, not friendship. Once Washington is in the middle, talks with Iran become another layer of defense against Houthi escalation and Gulf infrastructure risk. Markets will care less about the handshake than whether tankers keep moving and war-risk premiums stop rising.

Saudi Arabia has reportedly sought Israeli intelligence assistance against the Houthis—even though Riyadh and Jerusalem still have no formal diplomatic relations. The Jerusalem Post reports that the two sides held CENTCOM-mediated talks focused on intelligence to help Saudi Arabia counter the growing Houthi threat. The outreach comes after Saudi Arabia sought U.S. military help, while Pakistan has emphasized that its new Mecca Joint Defense Agreement is defensive in nature. The pact treats an armed attack on one member as an attack on all three, but its practical military response remains subject to coordination and implementation. What makes this especially significant is the unusual combination of partners. Saudi Arabia is now discussing Houthi intelligence cooperation with Israel through U.S. military channels, while the U.S. itself is providing intelligence and targeting support rather than direct strikes. #saudiarabia #Houthi #HouthiRebels #Israel #Trump #CENTCOM

🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Houthi missiles have shut Riyadh's main airport and hit Aramco's headquarters, and MBS can't buy his way out this time. Riyadh once sent money that reached Houthi fighters, but Ian Bremmer says any deal now would show far too much weakness. The kingdom needs land back and missile sites torn up: "This war almost certainly gets worse before it gets better." Saudi Arabia hasn't pushed the Houthis out of Sanaa in a decade, and now it has to with its own capital under fire. ian bremmer

Amid reports that Pakistan is being forced by Saudi Arabia to join the war against Iran-backed Houthis under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement or return its billions of dollars in loans, a senior Houthi government official has threatened to target the Pakistani regime with ballistic missile strikes on Karachi & Rawalpindi if Pakistan carries out military operations against the group to aid Saudi Arabia. Now the question is either Pakistan will join the war against Houthis under Mecca Defence Pact or it will ditch Saudi again.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Houthis reportedly hit Aramco’s headquarters after Riyadh bombed their oil facility in Sanaa The Houthis had warned the kingdom that hitting their oil facility would put Aramco’s Dhahran headquarters on the target list, and the Saudis reportedly struck anyway. Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group says the days of quietly paying off the Houthis are over, since MBS can’t look this weak with his main airport shut and Aramco taking direct hits: “This war almost certainly gets worse before it gets better.” Trump is playing go-between with Ankara, whose drones and strike jets could join the fight, while Saudi checks could pull Pakistan in... the first real test of a Muslim NATO built without Washington at the center. ian bremmer

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Neither America nor Iran is actually trying to win this war. 6 months into the Iran war, Ian Bremmer sees something strange beneath all the escalation: Restraint. Iran has not launched major attacks on critical Gulf infrastructure. The U.S. has not sent ground troops, attacked Kharg Island, resumed leadership assassinations or unleashed the full economic campaign threatened against countries still dealing with Tehran. Bremmer calls what is happening instead “price discovery.” Washington and Tehran want incompatible outcomes in the Strait of Hormuz, but both are probing for how much pain the other side can absorb. So they escalate just enough to demonstrate leverage, while trying not to trigger the regional war neither side appears to want. That is why Bremmer remains less worried about a sudden massive escalation than many other analysts. “Neither the Iranians nor the Americans are actually trying to win. They're trying to avoid losing.” That distinction explains a lot. Iran keeps enough pressure on shipping and regional infrastructure to preserve leverage. Washington keeps enough military and economic pressure on Iran to deny Tehran control of the outcome. Neither can force the other to surrender. Neither wants to pay the price of trying. So the war continues, not because either side sees a clear path to victory, but because neither has yet found an acceptable way to lose. ian bremmer

Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia signed the Makkah Defence Pact, raising the possibility that an armed attack on one could be treated as an attack on all three. But Pakistan is now making clear that this does not automatically mean sending troops to Yemen to fight the Houthis. Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had earlier suggested the pact could become operational if the Yemen conflict spread into Saudi Arabia. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has since expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and condemned Houthi attacks, but no deployment of Pakistani troops to Yemen has been announced. That creates a major test for the pact. If Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia continue, how much military support will Pakistan and Turkey actually provide? With Saudi Arabia also seeking U.S. support while Washington remains reluctant to launch direct action against the Houthis, the pact’s real military commitment is now under scrutiny. #Pakistan #saudiarabia #mecca #turkey #Houthi #HouthiRebels

🇸🇦🇺🇸 Saudi Arabia may be discovering how little protection its allies can actually provide As Houthi missiles continue hitting Saudi Arabia, attention has focused on reports of Mohammed bin Salman moving between fortified palaces. But the bigger question may be what happens if Saudi Arabia starts running short of the interceptors needed to stop those attacks. The kingdom has reportedly been shifting air defenses toward critical oil infrastructure, while requests for additional Western military assistance have gone unanswered. That raises a more serious concern: even if Washington wants to help, the United States may not have enough interceptor missiles available to provide the level of protection Riyadh expects. There is also the question of what Saudi Arabia believed it was getting into. Brandon Weichert suspects something behind the scenes may have encouraged Riyadh to confront the Houthis more aggressively, only for the kingdom to discover that its partners’ own military resources were already stretched thin. He does not claim to know what that encouragement was. The wider risk is that renewed U.S. strikes on Iran could further expand the conflict across Yemen and the Gulf. Saudi Arabia opposed America’s war with Iran, according to its own supporters, but may now be absorbing some of the consequences of a conflict it never wanted. And the longer the attacks continue, the more pressure falls on the credibility of America’s security guarantees. Brandon Weichert

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 🇾🇪🇸🇦 Houthis Hit Saudi Soil Hours After Riyadh Strikes! Tehran’s Proxy Message Just Got Louder Houthi forces claimed responsibility Saturday for a missile attack on Jizan in southern Saudi Arabia, hours after Saudi-led strikes hit Houthi sites in Hodeidah and Kamaran Island. Saudi authorities briefly issued emergency warnings for Jizan and Yanbu before lifting them. The Iran-backed group said the attack caused fires and framed it as direct retaliation. This is not just another Yemen exchange. It is Tehran testing how far it can push Riyadh through its most active proxy while the wider regional conflict continues. The Houthis have already targeted shipping and threatened Saudi ports. Striking Saudi territory itself raises the cost of any restrained response from Riyadh. For the United States and Israel, the pattern is familiar: Iran avoids direct confrontation while using proxies to stretch adversaries, complicate coalitions, and keep pressure on energy routes. Every successful Houthi strike reinforces that strategy. The question now is whether Saudi Arabia absorbs the hit or decides the proxy pressure has gone too far.

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump may be preparing to enter Saudi Arabia's war after the midterms Trump’s latest warning to the Houthis has raised the possibility of a broader U.S. role in the conflict after the midterm elections. He reminded them that he will still be president after the vote and made clear he has not forgotten their attacks. Asked whether Turkey could be brought into a military response in Yemen, Trump reportedly said he was considering it. Meanwhile, the regional situation is getting more dangerous. Saudi Arabia is already struggling to protect critical infrastructure from Houthi missiles and drones. After a reported Saudi strike on a major fuel facility in Sana'a, the Houthis threatened retaliation against airports and oil installations inside the kingdom. Egypt is also reportedly considering deeper military cooperation with Riyadh. That creates the risk of a conflict extending far beyond another Saudi-Houthi confrontation. If Washington intervenes after the elections, it could find itself fighting an enemy Saudi Arabia has struggled to defeat despite years of military investment. Iran adds another layer of danger. Tehran has reportedly warned that another major U.S. offensive could trigger attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and even ground incursions into neighboring countries. None of this makes a new American war inevitable. But the pieces are moving into place for a confrontation that could pull in Turkey, Egypt, Iran and the United States, with Saudi Arabia at the center of it. Trump may be threatening a limited intervention. The region may not give him the luxury of keeping it limited. Brandon Weichert

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump remains trapped because he still refuses to accept how much leverage Iran possesses. He still thinks overwhelming American power will eventually force Tehran to give in, and political scientist Ian Bremmer says that's the mistake keeping this war alive. Instead, Iran has shown it can keep raising the economic cost of the war without crossing Trump's red lines. Ian doesn't think Iran believes it can defeat the U.S militarily; it believes it can make continuing the war more painful than ending it. And so far, it's working. Trump keeps threatening to destroy Iran's infrastructure, eliminate its leadership and dramatically escalate the conflict. But Ian points to something more revealing than Trump's rhetoric: His actions. Despite months of fighting, Trump has avoided the biggest escalations. No ground invasion, no sustained campaign against Iran's energy sector, and no full-scale assault on the country's leadership. Even after American casualties, his instinct has repeatedly been to play them down rather than use them to justify a much wider war. And Tehran has noticed. It increasingly sees a president who talks like he's preparing for total war but behaves like someone searching for an exit. The bigger problem, Ian says, is inside the White House itself. Trump's advisers know the military and economic costs are mounting, and many want the war to end, but very few are willing to tell Trump the uncomfortable truth: Iran has far more leverage over how this ends than Washington expected. Until Trump accepts that reality, Ian believes a genuine compromise remains unlikely. ian bremmer

🇵🇰🇸🇦 Pakistan says it will defend Saudi Arabia "physically" now, and China has been asked to talk the Houthis down The fine print stopped mattering today. Pakistan's defense minister dropped the preexisting-conditions language and said his country stands with Riyadh diplomatically and physically, ready to go to any extent for the kingdom's security. Hours earlier, word came that the Saudis had asked Beijing to intervene, and China has been pressing both the Houthis and Iran to hold off. Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar, who has called in these strikes himself, sees the real tripwire further south. Saudi supertankers loading at Yanbu cannot fit through Suez, so they must run the Houthi-controlled strait. Lose that port and the kingdom can neither export nor import. Washington already has more than 200 people in Saudi Arabia doing intelligence and targeting work, which in his experience is the last stop before boots on the ground.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia spent years trying to defeat the Houthis... Now Riyadh may be discovering why military power alone couldn’t finish the job. The 2015-2022 intervention ultimately left the Houthis more experienced and militarily capable, with missiles and drones giving them the ability to threaten Saudi cities and critical infrastructure from across the border. That creates an uncomfortable calculation for Riyadh: Vision 2030 depends heavily on tourism, foreign investment and the perception that Saudi Arabia is a stable place to do business, exactly the things renewed attacks could undermine. With Washington signaling it won’t participate in another Saudi-led campaign, Riyadh is pursuing deeper security cooperation with countries including Britain, France, Pakistan and Egypt. However, additional military partnerships don’t resolve the underlying problem: Saudi Arabia can intercept attacks and retaliate, but permanently removing the Houthi threat would require a far more difficult and potentially costly campaign. That leaves diplomacy as another path, including negotiations through regional intermediaries and potential concessions aimed at preventing another cycle of escalation. Saudi Arabia has overwhelming conventional military power, but can that power can actually produce the political outcome Riyadh wants? Source: DW News YT / Writer: Val

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is investigating how a Houthi missile and drone barrage managed to get through its air defenses and hit Riyadh’s main international airport, killing at least 13 people and wounding more than 300. Early findings suggest the attack was coordinated: multiple drones were launched first, apparently to help clear a path for cruise and ballistic missiles that followed. Investigators are now looking at why Saudi defenses failed to intercept them, and why there wasn’t an earlier warning despite the weapons traveling more than 1,000 kilometers. And this is moving beyond a Saudi-Houthi fight. Saudi officials want the U.S. to become directly involved against the Houthis. Washington is already providing intelligence, targeting and planning support, but has so far stopped short of carrying out strikes itself. Trump now says that could change. Asked whether the U.S. might join Saudi strikes against the Houthis, he said: “We may. We’re going to look at it.” A Houthi attack getting through Saudi defenses and killing civilians at Riyadh airport may now be pushing Washington toward direct military involvement in Yemen.

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump is thinking about joining Saudi Arabia's fight against the Houthis, but that could open another can of worms. Saudi Arabia has faced more attacks, including a deadly strike on Riyadh's main airport that killed an American. Trump says the U.S. might join the fight. But there's a catch. Trump already has a ceasefire with the Houthis, and bombing them again could end it, putting American ships back in their sights. The Houthis could also threaten Red Sea shipping, creating another choke point while Hormuz is already in trouble. So Washington might end up with another war on its hands. Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇾🇪 America may be preparing to open another front against the Houthis. Trump has twice refused Saudi requests for direct U.S. military help against the Houthis. The important word is “yet.” The pieces for a wider war are now quietly falling into place. Saudi Arabia has moved from fence-sitting to fighting the Houthis. Egypt is publicly demanding the reopening of Bab el-Mandeb. Israel is reportedly providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence through CENTCOM. And U.S., Israeli and Arab military chiefs have now met privately to coordinate regional security. Meanwhile, something's happening much farther from Yemen: The U.S. Air Force is pushing to improve readiness across its B-52, B-1B and B-2 long-range bomber fleets. The unspoken contingency might be Yemen. The Navy would play a limited role in a major campaign against the Houthis, leaving long-range Air Force bombers to provide much of the firepower. Saudi pressure will eventually force the issue. Whether it takes 6 weeks or 6 months, the U.S. will eventually conduct long-range strategic bombing against Houthi targets. Trump has said no. Washington could be preparing for the day that answer changes. Brandon Weichert

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia has the same problem with Yemen that the U.S has with Iran: Bombs alone do not win a war After hundreds of Saudi airstrikes, the Houthis are still advancing. Veteran war correspondent Elijah Magnier says the fighting has now shifted into the mountains around Taiz, while the Houthis are simultaneously looking toward Aden and the oil-rich city of Marib. And Saudi Arabia is increasingly looking outside the country for help. The Americans, the British, the Israelis, and even attempts to activate the Mecca defense agreement. To Elijah, that tells you something: The Saudis are in big trouble. His argument is brutally straightforward. America bombed them for 45 days and eventually stopped. Israel struck Houthi infrastructure and assassinated its leaders. Saudi Arabia and the UAE fought them for years. Yet the Houthis remain undefeated. Elijah's point is that you cannot win a war from the air alone. Eventually somebody has to control the ground, and Saudi-backed forces simply don't have the same motivation to fight and die as their opponents. Which leaves MBS with the option that has been sitting in front of him all along: Make a deal. Because after seven years of war, hundreds more airstrikes and calls for foreign military support, Saudi Arabia may ultimately end up sitting across the table from the same people it was trying to beat.

Israel struck Houthi infrastructure and assassinated its leaders. Saudi Arabia and the UAE fought them for years. Yet the Houthis remain undefeated. Elijah's point is that you cannot win a war from the air alone. Eventually somebody has to control the ground, and Saudi-backed forces simply don't have the same motivation to fight and die as their opponents. Which leaves MBS with the option that has been sitting in front of him all along: Make a deal. Because after seven years of war, hundreds more airstrikes and calls for foreign military support, Saudi Arabia may ultimately end up sitting across the table from the same people it was trying to beat.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has authorized a FULL military response if Iran attacks again. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with President Trump, who offered full support for their response. CNN: “I want to go back to that breaking news just in to CNN about Saudi Arabia. It says that it is prepared to respond if Iran continues its retaliatory attack.” “CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson joins us now. What have you learned Nic?” NIC ROBERTSON: “Yeah, this is a really new and big step by the crown prince here to authorize the possibility of Saudi response if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia again.” “He called their attacks yesterday, and in the early hours of today, cowardly, he said that these attacks by Iran were cowardly because Iran knew that Saudi airspace was not being used to attack Iran. And this has incensed him.” “There have been attacks around the capital here that have been intercepted. There was an attack near a military airfield in the north of the country. There have been attacks further east much closer to the Persian Gulf, much closer to Iran.” “They’ve been repelled so far. But the crown prince has said that because of Iran’s actions, he is putting the country, Saudi Arabia’s security first. The safety of its territory, the safety of its citizens, the safety of its residents, he’s putting those things first.” “And for that reason, he says, he is authorizing the right and the military here to respond if they are attacked by Iran.” “And also, we heard from the foreign ministry here on their Twitter feed last night that the crown prince had a telephone conversation with President Trump.” “And in that conversation, the crown prince had full support from President Trump…for how they should respond.”

🇸🇦🇺🇸 Saudi Arabia is telling Trump to back off the blockade before Iran shuts down the only route keeping Gulf oil flowing... Saudi Arabia is reportedly privately pressing Washington to drop the Hormuz blockade and return to negotiations. The reason is simple: if Iran retaliates by activating the Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb, Saudi Arabia loses its last remaining export route. After the war closed Hormuz, Saudi Arabia pivoted its oil exports to Yanbu on the Red Sea, restoring output to its pre-war level of seven million barrels per day. Iran's foreign policy adviser publicly warned that Tehran views Bab el-Mandeb "just as it looks at Hormuz" and can disrupt it "with a single signal." Saudi energy officials told the WSJ they secured commitments from the Houthis not to attack Saudi ships through Bab el-Mandeb. But Riyadh warned Washington the situation is "fluid" and the Houthis could escalate if pushed further by Iran. The U.S. blockade is designed to choke Iran's revenue. But Iran can respond by choking Saudi Arabia's revenue through its Yemeni proxy. Both chokepoints closed simultaneously means the entire Gulf's oil output has no route to market. Global energy markets collapse. Source: WSJ

America is preparing for the possibility that Iran could target Gulf energy infrastructure if major U.S. military operations resume. The U.S. has recently deployed two additional Patriot batteries — one to protect an oil facility in Saudi Arabia and another near a gas facility in Qatar. The move comes as U.S. air-defense stocks are already under pressure. A CSIS assessment says U.S. Patriot interceptor inventories had fallen below 1,000 after heavy use in the Iran conflict. At the same time, Washington is reinforcing the region with more warships, aircraft and troops, including the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group. The concern goes beyond protecting military bases. A major strike on Saudi or Qatari energy infrastructure could disrupt regional and global energy markets. The latest Patriot deployments show that the U.S. is preparing not only for a possible new confrontation with Iran, but also for the risk of retaliation against the Gulf’s critical oil and gas lifeline. #iran #IranWar #saudiarabia #qatar #missiles

🪖🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is hedging against regional disorder from multiple directions while filling some of the strategic space created by Iran’s weakening and withdrawal. 🇸🇦🇹🇷🇵🇰 The Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan defense pact is not an anti-Iran coalition. Turkey and Pakistan have been sleeping in the same bed with the Iranian regime for decades. 🕋 The Mecca Defense Agreement has been in the making for roughly two years, but it was accelerated by regional upheaval and growing Saudi disappointment with Washington as the ultimate guarantor of Gulf security. Riyadh is increasingly seeking greater strategic autonomy rather than relying on a single external protector. 🌎 Saudi Arabia needs deterrent capabilities of its own. Its nuclear ambitions have not produced an independent nuclear deterrent, while massive investment in armament and localization of the military industry has yet to deliver the level of strategic independence Riyadh wants. 🪖 The new pact allows Saudi Arabia to pool strategic assets with two powerful partners: 🇵🇰 Pakistan brings nuclear deterrence and significant military capabilities; 🇹🇷 Turkey brings NATO experience and a sophisticated, rapidly expanding defense industry; Saudi Arabia brings money, geography, and political weight. 🇺🇸🇸🇦 Nor is Saudi Arabia replacing Washington as its primary defense partner. KSA is diversifying its security portfolio and building on an existing web of bilateral defense relationships, including Saudi-Pakistan, Turkey-Pakistan, Turkey-Qatar, and Pakistan-Kuwait, etc. 📺 Watch my interview with Natasha Raquel Kirtchuk on i24NEWS English today on this topic:
