00:00 Saudi Arabia has asked the United States to show restraint in responding to attacks by
00:05 Yemen's Houthis against ships in the Red Sea, two sources familiar with Saudi thinking
00:09 said as Riyadh seeks to contain spillover from the Hamas-Israel war.
00:14 The Houthis, who support Iran, have entered the battle that has erupted across the Middle
00:18 East since it began on October 7.
00:20 They have been assaulting ships in crucial shipping routes and launching missiles and
00:23 drones at Israel.
00:24 The faction that controls a large portion of Yemen claims that its strikes are an expression
00:29 of solidarity with the Palestinians and has promised to keep going until Israel ends its
00:33 campaign in the Gaza Strip, which is located more than 1,000 miles from their capital of
00:37 Sanaa.
00:38 Since the war began on October 7 when their Palestinian ally Hamas attacked Israel, the
00:42 Houthis are one of several factions in the Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance that have
00:46 been attacking targets in Israel and the US.
00:49 Due to their involvement, the conflict now poses a greater risk to regional stability.
00:53 States on the Red Water are concerned as Houthi drones and missiles are flying towards Israel,
00:58 endangering the water routes that carry a large portion of the world's oil.
01:01 The world's largest oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, has been alarmed by the Houthi missiles fired
01:05 over its territory.
01:06 Focused on expanding and diversifying the Saudi economy, Riyadh this year normalized
01:10 ties with Tehran and is seeking to exit the war it has been waging with the Houthis in
01:14 Yemen for nearly nine years.
01:16 The sources said Saudi Arabia was seeking to advance the Yemen peace process even as
01:21 the war rages in Gaza, worrying it could be derailed.
01:24 Yemen has enjoyed more than a year of relative calm amid direct peace talks between Saudi
01:28 and Houthi officials.
01:29 The Houthi attacks during the Hamas-Israel war have elevated the profile in the Iran-aligned
01:33 camp, which also includes Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iran-backed militias in Iraq.
01:38 The Houthis have emerged as a major military force in the Arabian Peninsula with tens of
01:42 thousands of fighters and a huge arsenal of ballistic missiles and armed drones.
01:46 The Houthis have also been accused of being part of the Houthi-led coalition, which is
01:53 a group of Houthis who are a part of the Houthi-led coalition.
