HOW THE HOUTHIS ARE HELPING IRAN TURN SAUDI ARABIA INTO A PRESSURE POINT

What happened: Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia target infrastructure and investment events, aiming to pressure Riyadh on Yemen and push Washington to ease its blockade on Iran, per Saudi, Iranian and regional sources. Key numbers: Over 40 commercial ships moved through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, per U.S. Central Command. Why it matters: Analysts say Iran, under a chokehold, is hitting Saudi Arabia as the weak point. Strikes disrupted Riyadh's oil conference and the FII forum, threatening investor confidence and Vision 2030.
