Saudi Arabia is being hit from all sides, so why is Riyadh still refusing to go all-in on war? As attacks target Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping routes, Riyadh is trying to protect its economic ambitions without being pulled into a wider regional conflict. The kingdom has kept its military response limited while turning to diplomacy, defensive partnerships and a proposed Red Sea maritime coalition. Saudi Arabia has also signed a defence agreement with Turkiye and Pakistan as it seeks stronger deterrence. Meanwhile, attacks from Yemen and Iraq continue to test its restraint.
