The British Royal Institute Sana a s Gains on the Coast and Bab Al Mandeb Proved the Impotence of Traditional Security Systems and Guardianship Alliances

A recent analytical report issued by the British Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) affirmed that the swift military and strategic gains achieved by Sana’a forces along the Red Sea coast and around the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait have created a dramatic shift that has redrawn the equations of influence and the balance of power in the region, and cemented the inability of traditional security systems and regional and international guardianship alliances to confront independent Yemeni action.
Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
Researcher Dr. Burcu Ozcelik explained in the report issued by the British institute that Sana’a forces managed within a few days to achieve decisive gains by taking full control of the Al-Mokha and Dhubab districts and the strategically important islands around the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, simultaneously with directing missile and drone strikes targeting sensitive energy infrastructure deep inside Saudi Arabia, including targets in the capital, Riyadh, and the Aramco facility in Yanbu, as well as targeting the (East-West) oil pipeline.
The report indicated that these qualitative operations imposed a strong deterrence equation that placed navigation movement and global energy markets before two interconnected maritime crises in the most important waterways, clearly exposing the failure of massive Saudi investments in building and training its loyal military formations.
In a related context, the report revealed the refusal of the Donald Trump administration to be drawn into a large-scale confrontation to stop Sana’a’s advance under the slogans of “burden-sharing” and “ending forever wars,” contenting itself with providing limited intelligence consultations and tying Riyadh to long-range arms deals such as F-35 aircraft, which caused great disappointment among the Saudi leadership.
The events also proved the failure of the “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement” signed between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan in its first practical test, as Ankara, Islamabad, and Cairo refused to intervene militarily in Yemen
