AIDr. Mutlaq Al-Mutairi, professor of political media at King Saud University, has warned that the Houthis' aggressive behavior poses a threat to the global economy and supply chains.
Speaking in an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Mutairi added that the Houthis lack any political or national project, instead acting as a tool for Iran to advance its interests.
Al-Mutairi noted that Saudi Arabia is capable of launching military campaigns and taking both military and political measures to secure its vessels.
