Saudi Arabia has launched the Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition (MMDC) with 14 regional countries to secure the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden from Houthi threats and reduce reliance on Western maritime security forces.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a turning point as the Middle East shifts maritime security control from Western powers to a regional coalition led by Saudi Arabia. This creates new opportunities and risks for ventures relying on Red Sea trade routes or regional defence partnerships.
