France Begins Deploying Military Assets to Protect Saudi Oil Facilities
France has initiated the deployment of military assets in Saudi Arabia to safeguard its oil facilities and energy transport routes. The move comes following a series of attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen on Saudi territory, including targets linked to energy infrastructure. French President Emmanuel Macron had previously announced the sending of troops and defense systems to protect the strategic port of Yanbu on the Red Sea. The French Foreign Ministry has confirmed the beginning of this operation, although details about the equipment and personnel sent remain undisclosed.29 sourcesSee all sources
