Saudi Arabia is expected to announce a multinational military coalition aimed at protecting passage through the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Al-Monitor reported citing two senior diplomatic sources and a senior US official.
The coalition aims to prevent Iran-backed groups from restricting passage through the strategic waterway.
The Saudi-led initiative could be unveiled as early as Thursday, the deadline for about 50 countries, including the United States, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, to confirm their participation.
