Possible scenario
Prolonged Coastal Stalemate
40% Chance
The general mobilization produces a larger Saudi-backed push, but Houthi forces retain key positions around Bab el-Mandeb and the coastal approaches to Mokha. This is likely because the Houthis already hold ground, have missile and drone leverage over shipping, and can force a costly fight without needing to defeat the mobilization outright.
