Washington backs Saudi intel on Houthis

The article focused on U.S. support for Saudi Arabia in confronting the Houthis in Yemen, where President Donald Trump rejected the demands of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to carry out direct military strikes against the Houthis, despite escalating tensions and the Houthis controlling strategic areas near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. History indicates that Saudi Arabia requested military and political support from America, but Washington’s priority has been safeguarding its interests, especially ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, while avoiding direct military intervention. Instead, the U.S. has enhanced intelligence and information-sharing support for its Saudi allies. These developments have increased the need for security coordination, as the escalation of the conflict in the region and its impact on oil markets have become more evident. Oil prices rose after the Houthis seized a strategic city, posing a threat to oil transit through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and raising concerns about disruption of navigation in the Gulf, especially with Iran's involvement in the broader context of regional tensions.
