Red Sea Redux: Saudis Call For 'Coalition Of The Willing' To Protect Shipping From Houthis
Here we go again... after months ago President Trump urgently pushed for an international naval alliance to 'open' the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iran war, which was met with at the time with a collective cold shoulder from European allies, the Saudis are newly pitching the same to open up the Bab al Mandab Strait.
