Trump Rejected MBS Plea To Bomb Houthis as Iran Pushed Escalation Against Saudi Arabia | 4K

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly called US President Donald Trump twice, seeking direct American strikes on Yemen’s Houthis as the group seized the strategic Red Sea city of Mocha. Trump declined the request, with Washington seeking to avoid opening another front while focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters separately reported that Iranian weapons and advice aided the Houthi offensive, with sources saying Tehran pushed the group to escalate attacks on Saudi Arabia.
