After weeks of attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militia on Saudi ships, airports and oil facilities, Saudi Arabia appears to be preparing for a renewed war against the group, analysts say, potentially deepening the turmoil in the Middle East.

  • Summary
  • Ships had loaded crude at Saudi Arabia's Juaymah, data shows
  • Tankers were struck within minutes of each other off Oman
SINGAPORE, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Two supertankers carrying Saudi oil were struck by unknown projectiles within minutes of each other while ‌transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz late on Monday, according to shipping intelligence and tracking firms Marisks and Kpler.
"The near-simultaneous incidents represent a further escalation in the threat environment within the Omani corridor," Marisks said.

The tankers each loaded 2 million barrels of Saudi crude at the Juaymah terminal last week, Kpler data showed. Saudi ⁠Aramco resumed oil loadings and sales from inside the strait in August.

Key Takeaways​

  1. The Houthis have shifted their tactics toward increasingly targeting Saudi oil facilities, likely after recognizing that their naval blockade of Saudi vessels in the Red Sea has failed to compel Saudi Arabia to meet Houthi demands in Yemen.
  2. The National Resistance Forces (NRF), which is a component of the Republic of Yemen Government (ROYG), conducted a counteroffensive in southern Hudaydah Governorate on September 5, possibly to relieve Houthi pressure on NRF forces near Taiz City. The principal challenge for the NRF will be exploiting any tactical offensive successes, however. One intermediate NRF and ROYG objective is to capture al Jarrahi, a crossroads town that lies astride a major Houthi supply line between Hudaydah City and Taiz City, and its environs.
  3. Hudaydah could be the ultimate objective of the offensive, but NRF and ROYG-aligned forces will need to seize intermediate objectives long before Hudaydah. Hudaydah is critical to both Houthi civilian and military goods, and its loss would be a significant setback for the Houthis

It seems like there will be some action soon from the Saudi side -backed by Türkiye and Pakistan. Let's see what happens.

I think we may use this as an opportunity to station permament military assets in SA. Even a permanent base?

For those who dont know the reason for the sudden gains by Iranian-backed houthis against Saudi Arabia👇

Within the last few days, Iranian-backed militias have destroyed Yemeni govt forces by a significant margin; however here is the catch, nearly all the territories that were lost were supposed to be protected by forces that were once part of the UAE-backed Yemeni transition council. According to Iranian and turkish sources, formerly UAE-backed forces didnt even fire a bullet against the Houthis even though they were ordered to hold the line while Saudi-backed forces try and storm Sanaa city

In other words, the UAE backstabbed Saudi Arabia in the most crucial moment possible and sided with Iran to give it more leverage against the Mecca alliance amd the US. It was a message of revenge from the UAE to Saudi Arabia saying: "Just because we were kicked out of Yemen doesnt mean our influence over our militias have waned" and "this is what you get for forming the Mecca alliance"

Curse the UAE

Most arabs being backstabbers is normal, it's in their DNA. That's why you never ever give them tech transfer.
