The Houthis’ recent threat to attack Saudi Arabia risks Iran’s entire regional strategy, and makes a military alliance between Riyadh and Washington much more urgent. It also threatens to rekindle the war in Yemen
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi went ballistic on Sunday. In a filmed speech, he threatened to attack Saudi ports, airports and banks, if Riyadh “obeys” American directives he said are aimed at destroying the Yemeni economy. The Houthis’ official website, Al-Masirah, then showed aerial photos of several airports and seaports in Saudi Arabia with the subtitle, “Just try us.”
