Saudi Arabia Condemns Houthi Maritime Blockade Announcement
RIYADH: On Monday, Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the announcement made by Yemen’s Houthis regarding a maritime blockade against the kingdom. This blockade poses a threat to Saudi Arabia’s ability to operate outside the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for oil exports.
The Saudi foreign ministry issued a statement expressing its “strongest condemnation” of the remarks made by the Houthi military spokesman about the proposed blockade. The ministry emphasized that Saudi Arabia remains committed to supporting the Yemeni people and their legitimate government during these challenging times.
