Saudi Arabia asked China to pressure Iran into restraining the Houthis after the United States refused to strike them. Beijing privately delivered the request because China is Iran’s biggest oil customer. China threatened no consequences, and Iran made no commitment. With Hormuz crippled and the Houthis controlling Yemen’s Red Sea coast, both Saudi oil routes are now under threat. #SaudiArabia #IranWar #Iran #Houthis #Yemen #RedSea #Geopolitics
