Fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis is escalating. The Iran-backed group has struck a major Saudi military base, multiple airports, and oil infrastructure, including a pipeline responsible for about 5% of the world’s oil supplies. It captured territory along the Bab al-Mandab Strait, strengthening its grip on the crucial waterway. About 12% of the world’s goods pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which links Europe and Asia through the Suez Canal.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman repeatedly urged Trump to take military action against the Houthis, but Trump has, so far, refused. “The Saudis are really frustrated,” a former U.S. ambassador said in September. “In some sense it’s their worst-case scenario.”

Trump doesn’t seem too worried. He insisted that “everything is going to work out fine and dandy.” Here’s why experts are more concerned.
