Saudi Arabia is reportedly seeks mediation with the Sana’a-based Yemeni government amid concerns that a fresh wave of violence between the two sides could be unleashed.

As US-backed Saudi military aggression against Yemen intensifies, the Yemeni armed forces and the resistance have warned they are prepared to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in coordination with the Strait of Hormuz, a move that could send oil prices soaring to $200 per barrel and trigger severe disruption across the global economy.

Iran has formally complained to the UN that the US is systematically violating a landmark ceasefire agreement, documenting 42 breaches and calling on the Security Council to take "immediate, effective, and decisive measures" against Washington.

Trump has reportedly extended his support to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) for an unconventional military offensive against Yemen.

Yemen threatens to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait if Saudi Arabia continues to hit the Arab nation’s vital infrastructure, warning that the cost of a barrel of oil could reach $200 in such a case.

Yemen’s Foreign Ministry wanrs that Saudi Arabia will find itself in a major strategic deadlock and will bear heavy costs for its aggression. 

The Yemeni foreign ministry has explicitly warned Saudi Arabia against any attempts to re-impose a siege on the country, or conduct a military offensive against it.
