Saudi Arabia unveils a new 14-nation military alliance to patrol the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, responding to Houthi attacks and aiming to safeguard global trade — while carefully avoiding offensive action. Though the EU and U.S. already lead similar operations, this coalition emphasizes defense, intelligence sharing, and joint planning. Notably, key regional players like Oman and the UAE sit this one out, revealing deeper geopolitical fractures. Meanwhile, Iran escalates tensions by pressuring Bulgaria and Cyprus over U.S. military presence, even as Bulgaria approves temporary deployments for non-offensive use — underscoring the fragile balance of power in a volatile region.
