Turkey Takes On Houthis? Any Support To Saudis Faces Huge Blowback
Via Middle East Eye
Turkey's new commitments to Saudi Arabia under the Mecca defence pact could increase the risk of Ankara being drawn into a confrontation with Yemen's Houthis, a development that could have significant consequences for Turkish supply lines to the Horn of Africa. Although Turkey has yet to ratify the pact, expected in October, continued Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, and Ankara's recent participation in the Saudi-led Multinational Maritime Defense Alliance make some form of confrontation possible.
Several regional experts interviewed by Middle East Eye said Ankara does not want a clash with the Houthis. Instead, they suggested Turkey could use its relationships with Saudi Arabia and Iran to help defuse tensions while deploying military equipment to help Riyadh better defend itself.
A Turkish official told MEE that Riyadh had not formally requested Ankara's assistance under the Mecca pact, which br...

Crude Slides On Report Saudis Could Restore Half Of East-West Pipeline Flows Within Days
