Why Trump Did Not Target Houthis
The article explains that President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from executing military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen was due to divisions within the American military leadership, as well as concerns over depleting the U.S. arsenal and potential risks to American forces in the Middle East. Although orders had been issued to carry out certain attacks, these plans were canceled because military officials were worried about the impact on the security of U.S. forces and interests, especially given the escalation of Houthi attacks such as the downing of an F-15 aircraft and threats to Yemen's oil industry. There are also disagreements among those advocating for supporting Saudi Arabia in responding to the Houthis, mainly due to fears of weapon shortages and challenges related to regional power balances. Trump later did not rule out resorting to military action in the future, but so far, he faces a dilemma in making a decisive decision, as U.S. support for Saudi Arabia remains limited amid growing concerns about the conflict's impact on American national security.
