US boosts intel support in Saudi Houthi fight
Sources have reported that more than 100 American military advisors are currently on the ground in Saudi Arabia to support its military campaign against the Iranian-backed Yemeni Houthi group. U.S. support focuses on providing intelligence information to the Kingdom, including targeting systems similar to the "MAVEN" system used by the Pentagon, aiming to improve the accuracy of operations against the Houthis. This assistance comes amid recent escalations in fighting, with estimates indicating around 200 U.S. soldiers in the region, amid concerns about the escalation of the war and its potential expansion into a broader confrontation, including the risk of blocking the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait. There are also signs of Iranian support for Houthi operations. Sources confirm that the United States limits its role to providing intelligence support and does not directly participate in executing strikes or offer comprehensive operational backing, in order to avoid civilian casualties, amidst ongoing tensions and military and security challenges in the area.
