Axios: Trump pondered attacking Houthis
Recent developments indicate that the U.S. administration was considering the possibility of launching military strikes against the Houthi movement in Yemen, especially after the Houthis advanced into strategic areas along the western coast and took control of islands overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. However, President Donald Trump decided to hold back and refrain from executing any strikes, despite having options for air raids presented to the Pentagon. Trump also made a phone call to Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Chief, Rashad Al-Alimi, during which they discussed the Houthis’ progress and American support requests, without any pledge to directly halt the Houthi threat. Statements from U.S. officials suggest that Washington is balancing the need to protect navigation in the strait with strategic considerations, while also focusing on other issues such as Iran and China.
