Houthis escalated Red Sea blockade, striking Saudi oil facilities (July 28 drone attacks) and copying Iran's Hormuz playbook. New development: Houthis attacked Saudi from Iraqi soil with Iraqi militia coordination, and also struck Egypt, broadening the threat. Saudi Arabia unveiled plans for a multinational Red Sea maritime security coalition. Threat to Bab el-Mandeb and global shipping rising. Mahan Air flight incident adds dimension.
