**Saudi Arabia’s options are narrowing. 

Drone strikes attributed by Riyadh to Iraqi militias forced the East-West pipeline offline, suspending Yanbu loadings and cancelling some September cargoes to Europe. Repair estimates range up to eight weeks. The pipeline had become Riyadh’s main bypass around restricted shipping through Hormuz.**

As Ansar Allah advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, Riyadh is seeking broader outside support. Trump rejected direct US strikes but offered intelligence and targeting data; Israel is reportedly providing intelligence through CENTCOM channels; Britain has sent military advisers and is considering further support; Egypt has offered political backing. Pakistan says no military response under the Mecca defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey is currently under discussion.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar, citing sources in Sanaa, claims Saudi Arabia has recruited hundreds of Syrian fighters and transferred them toward Yemen with Turkish assistance. The report remains independently unconfirmed.
