A warning was issued. A deadline was set. And fighter jets followed. br br Saudi Arabia has drawn its clearest red line yet — and this time, the message was not aimed at the Houthis, but at a long-time ally. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has delivered his strongest ultimatum to the UAE, declaring that Saudi national security is non-negotiable. br br Within hours of Riyadh publicly backing a demand for UAE forces to withdraw from Yemen within 24 hours, the Saudi-led coalition carried out a precision airstrike on the southern Yemeni port city of Mukalla.
