Saudi Arabia in Trouble? MBS Isolated as US & Allies Refuse to Fight Houthis | Akram Naeem Bharoka

What happened to MBS during 11 of the most difficult days of Saudi Arabia’s escalating confrontation with the Houthis? In this special episode, Akram Naeem Bharoka reconstructs the timeline of Saudi Arabia’s crisis — day by day — from the Houthi attacks on Saudi energy and military targets to Riyadh’s search for military and air-defense support. The story takes us through Washington, Cairo, Islamabad, Ankara, London, Paris, Beijing and Muscat, examining what Saudi Arabia asked for, what its partners offered, and where direct military involvement stopped. One of the most important moments came on September 11, when reports said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump twice and sought direct U.S. strikes against the Houthis. Washington declined direct military action while offering intelligence and targeting support instead. The crisis then moved beyond Yemen. Saudi Arabia reportedly sought air-defense assistance from France, Britain, Pakistan and Egypt as concerns grew over interceptor supplies. Meanwhile, MBS traveled to Egypt amid the escalating Houthi attacks, seeking political support from Cairo. The episode also examines the new Mecca Joint Defence Agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye, and the different positions expressed by the countries involved. Pakistan has said the agreement could be activated if attacks on Saudi Arabia continue, while Türkiye has subsequently indicated readiness to provide military support under the pact. The final part asks a bigger question: What options remain for MBS? Can Saudi Arabia continue fighting alone? Can Riyadh secure more air-defense support? Can it use China as a diplomatic channel to Tehran? Could Oman facilitate talks with the Houthis? And could a direct or indirect ceasefire become the next step? The episode also looks at the strategic importance of the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, Strait of Hormuz, Saudi oil infrastructure and global shipping, and explains why this conflict is no longer only a Yemen story. On September 19, Saudi authorities confirmed that a Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh was intercepted, while the Houthis claimed attacks on sensitive sites in Riyadh and an Aramco facility in Yanbu. Watch the full episode to follow all 11 days and understand the diplomatic, military and strategic choices now facing Saudi Arabia.
