Saudi Crown Prince Pressed Trump on Houthi Attack
The article discusses Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s attempt to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to launch a military attack against the Houthi movement in Yemen, especially amid escalating regional tensions and the Houthis' control of strategic islands in the Red Sea and key locations near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Bin Salman asked Trump to carry out strikes against the Houthis, but the latter refused direct military intervention, opting instead to provide intelligence support to Saudi forces and deploy non-combatant troops. This came amidst increased Houthi offensives and their control of strategic areas, raising concerns about shutting the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital passage for international trade. The United States emphasizes keeping the Red Sea open and continues supporting regional partners in directing Yemeni forces without direct involvement, particularly focusing on countering Iran and safeguarding the strait.
