The UK and France have deployed military assets to Saudi Arabia, deepening defense ties with the kingdom in response to escalating Houthi attacks. France began sending troops and air defense systems last week, while the UK announced plans on Tuesday to deploy "Typhoon" fighter jets, military advisors, and transport aircraft. Both nations emphasized that their support is purely defensive.
Analysts suggest these deployments aim to protect Saudi oil exports, solidify strategic alliances in the Gulf region, and strengthen deterrence against future Houthi attacks. However, the move could also draw the UK and France more directly into the long-standing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
