SAUDI — YEMEN'S HOUTHI GOVT WARNS GLOBAL SHIPPING COMPANIES TO AVOID SAUDI ARABIAN PORTS

The Houthi-led government in Sana'a has issued a warning for all international companies to avoid using Saudi Arabian ports until further notice. The deputy foreign minister stated that any entity collaborating with Saudi Arabia will "pay a heavy price," signaling a direct threat to commercial shipping and supply chains in the region. This follows recent Houthi attacks on Saudi-linked maritime assets in the Red Sea.
