If the Saudis and UAE can’t siphon off the profits from a reopened Marib-Ras Issa pipeline pretty soon, then their bankers are going to tell them to end the war. The Houthis know this. They’re never going to let that pipeline reopen until they’re sure the money goes to the Yemeni people, not Saudi Arabia/UAE through their puppet Hadi (who will take his cut, as well).
Hadi and UAE forces got the Ash Shihr pipeline reopened, but nearly all 50,000 bpd of oil production goes to the Marib refinery for domestic use. They just don’t have enough to export (steal) without increasing production. And they can’t do that until the Houthi genocide is wrapped up and the Yemenis are firmly under the boot of Saudi/UAE control. That’s no going too well… heh!
