U.S. Talks with Yemen and Their Impact on Saudi Arabia

JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, on Monday, September 23, local time, analyzed the ongoing conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Yemen in an interview with Fox News. He expressed confidence in the U.S. control over the situation, pointing to the complexities of the developments and emphasized that the country will continue to monitor the situation to protect its interests.

Emphasis on Monitoring and Ongoing Communications

In this interview, without mentioning Saudi attacks on Yemen, Vance reported on the continuous communications of the U.S. with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and other countries affected in the region. He added: "The U.S. government is fully aware of this situation and is closely following it." These statements reflect the active approach of the U.S. in its foreign policy and national security in the Middle East.

Field Developments and Yemeni Control of Al-Mokha

Meanwhile, Yemeni armed forces have recently managed to take control of the historic port city of Al-Mokha in response to Saudi airstrikes and the land, sea, and air blockade. This victory, especially considering the strategic location of the port of Al-Mokha, will have a significant impact on Yemen's control over the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, which is one of the most important shipping routes in the world.

The Yemeni army forces have also succeeded in recapturing several strategic islands from U.S.-backed militants. These successes not only help Yemen's dominance over strategic waterways but will also influence the balance of power in the region.

In this context, ongoing developments could lead to a reconfiguration of power equations in the Middle East. Given that the U.S. is a key player in the region, monitoring the situation and communicating with its allies, it remains to be seen whether these developments will lead to changes in Saudi Arabia's policies.
