## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, Saudi Arabia is likely to escalate from retaliatory strikes to a more systematic air campaign targeting Houthi command, control, missile production, and storage networks across Yemen. This will aim to degrade long‑range strike capacity but will also risk driving the Houthis to diversify launch locations and increase attacks on Saudi and possibly Emirati infrastructure. The campaign may draw in Turkish ISR, drones, or logistical support, even short of direct Turkish or Pakistani combat sorties. Confirmation would include repeated large‑scale strike nights, BDA showing deeper infrastructure hits, and coalition coordination announcements; denial would be a rapid ceasefire push linked to Chinese or Omani mediation.

## Drivers

- Multiple Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport and Aramco storage in Yanbu
- Saudi diplomatic outreach to Turkey and Pakistan for military help
- Emerging trend of Houthis hardening Bab el‑Mandeb and normalizing deep‑strike pressure
- Saudi need to protect domestic legitimacy and energy assets
