Trump declines Houthi strike request
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is facing difficulty in meeting the Saudi demand for a military strike against the Houthis in Yemen, as the Central Command ("Centcom") refuses to carry out direct operations to avoid engaging in a military conflict that could divert resources from confronting Iran. Despite the increasing progress of the Houthis along Yemen's coast and their nearing of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the United States continues to support Saudi Arabia by providing intelligence and target designation, having supplied Riyadh with more than 200 targets over the past two weeks. The Saudi-Yemeni coalition is preparing for a large-scale attack to regain control of coastal areas and to dominate the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Meanwhile, the White House is refusing direct intervention, maintaining limited support through intelligence sharing and targeted strikes. Both sides emphasize the strategic importance of the strait, which has heightened concerns over maritime security and oil supply routes.
