Saudi Arabia Hosts Third Maritime Alliance Meeting on Red Sea Defense

⚓ RED SEA — Saudi hosts a third maritime coalition meeting while Houthis keep striking the same refinery twice a week. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Three meetings, no enforcement. The alliance covers Bab el-Mandeb and Gulf of Aden — exactly where four US sailors died and Houthis declared a Saudi blockade. Repeated convening without kinetic deterrence signals the coalition is still building consensus, not projecting it. Riyadh keeps absorbing strikes while the multilateral framework lags the threat.
