President Donald Trump reportedly ruled out American strikes against the Houthi movement during conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to a report carried by ynet.
According to a report by ynet, President Trump ruled out US military strikes against the Houthi movement in conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The report did not provide further details on the timing or context of the conversations.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Trump's evolving stance toward the Houthis. In July, multiple reports indicated Trump had threatened 'lethal force' against the group and warned Iran of consequences for Red Sea attacks. The new report, if confirmed, would mark a departure from that posture. The Houthis have continued attacks on Red Sea shipping, including strikes on Saudi vessels, as documented in earlier Zioneer coverage.
The status of US-Saudi coordination on Yemen policy remains unclear. The report is based on a single source, and official confirmation has not been provided.
