Saudi Arabia seeks allies against Houthi attacks on oil infrastructure

Houthi attacks Saudi Arabia oil trade Mecca Joint Defence Agreement Red Sea security

Saudi Arabia is seeking international support following increased attacks by the Houthi militia, which threaten global oil trade and critical infrastructure. The Houthi militia claimed to have struck Aramco facilities in Janbu and a sensitive target in Riyadh, though Saudi Arabia reported intercepting six ballistic missiles.

In response to the escalating threat, France and the United Kingdom have pledged support. Additionally, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey met to discuss an urgent meeting of military chiefs under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, a pact where an attack on one member is considered an attack on all.

The attacks pose a significant risk to the Red Sea and the East-West pipeline in Janbu, which allows oil to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthi militia currently controls the port of Mocha in Yemen and several islands in the Red Sea, threatening the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
