France deploys Silent One to Saudi oil
France has announced the dispatch of military forces, radars, and defense systems to protect Saudi oil facilities. This move comes after repeated attacks on the Saudi oil sector resulting from clashes with the Houthis in Yemen and attacks across Iraqi territory. The step is part of a defense agreement signed between Saudi Arabia and France last August, aimed at strengthening military cooperation and countering security threats, particularly concerning oil interests and global energy markets. It is expected to include the protection of the Yanbu port and pipeline networks. Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are conducting talks to activate the Mecca Defense Pact, which stipulates that any attack on one of the parties is considered an attack on all, in an effort to unify efforts against the escalating threats from the Houthis in Yemen.
