Saudi Arabia Says Road to Houthi Diplomacy 'Not Closed' After Major Strikes

🕊️ RIYADH — Saudi taking Houthi hits but refusing to shut the diplomatic door. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Riyadh absorbed Jizan and 73 Houthi casualties yet signals openness to talks — because any Houthi restraint deal requires Tehran's sign-off, and MBS knows it. Moscow talks already sent that message. A negotiated Houthi pause gives Saudi Arabia domestic cover without formal belligerence. Risk: Iran reads restraint as weakness, and strikes continue regardless of Riyadh's posture.
