Saudi Arabia is facing a growing missile-defence crunch as the conflict involving Yemen-based Houthi rebels puts pressure on Riyadh’s interceptor stocks. With missile threats, disrupted shipping and falling oil output adding to the strain, Saudi Arabia is reportedly seeking help from allies including the United States, Britain, France, Pakistan and Türkiye. But military support may not be arriving as quickly as Riyadh would like. Washington is pursuing its own priorities, while Pakistan and Türkiye have signalled limits on military involvement. Meanwhile, the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb remain critical pressure points for Saudi oil exports. This is the story of missiles, alliances, oil and uncomfortable friendships.
