Saudi Arabia has few options as it faces mounting threats from Iran and its allies

Houthi rebels seized Red Sea positions and helped trigger drone attacks that forced a major Saudi pipeline to shut, threatening a vital shipping route and global trade.
The disruptions have slashed Saudi oil flows to Asia and rattled markets, undermining Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's economic transformation plans.
Washington's response under President Trump has been uneven, leaving Saudi Arabia uncertain about relying on U.S. backing or turning to riskier military or diplomatic options.
