Riad cere lovituri americane în Yemen. Washington refuză. Houthi ocupa Bab el-Mandeb

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman requested U.S. airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, but President Trump declined. Instead, the U.S. offered intelligence support and sent CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper to Riyadh. The Houthis have captured key locations, including the port of Mokha, raising concerns over control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The U.S. aims to focus on Iran and avoid opening a second front in the conflict, while Saudi Arabia seeks to manage the situation with limited American military involvement. The geopolitical stakes are high, as the Houthis' advances threaten vital shipping routes.
