Trump blocks US strikes on Houthis in Yemen despite Saudi push

ilfattoquotidiano.it (Italian)

President Trump has blocked US military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen that were already approved and ready to launch, despite requests from Saudi Arabia to proceed with the operation. The decision halts planned raids that had been authorized, marking a significant shift in US policy toward the conflict. Saudi Arabia had reportedly urged the US to carry out the strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi forces. The move comes amid ongoing regional tensions and follows previous US military actions in the area. The blocked strikes represent a notable reversal, with the White House choosing not to engage despite prior preparations.
