Trump refuză cererea saudiților de ajutor militar în Yemen. Rebelii, susținuți de Iran, cuceresc Bab al-Mandeb • Newsweek România

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman requested military action from President Trump against Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are advancing towards Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Trump declined the request, focusing instead on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have captured strategic locations, raising concerns about global energy supply disruptions. U.S. officials indicated that while direct military action is off the table, they will provide intelligence support to Saudi Arabia. The situation escalates as fighting intensifies, with thousands displaced and significant implications for maritime navigation.
