Saudi Arabia is trying to prevent the expansion of the rekindled conflict with the Houthi movement ("Ansar Allah") in Yemen in order to protect its oil industry and economy.
Modern.az reports that Bloomberg has released information about this.
According to the information, Riyadh is conducting indirect talks with the Houthis through the mediation of Oman. In addition, possible military scenarios are also being considered in case diplomatic efforts do not yield results.
According to the publication, US officials have urged Saudi Arabia to refrain from large-scale military operations in closed meetings. They warned that the growing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis could have a more serious impact on global shipping and energy markets, and even lead to the complete closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
