Trump Says Houthis Agree Not to Attack US as Saudi Arabia Faces Threats

timesnownews.com

President Donald Trump announced that Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have agreed not to attack the United States, even as the group escalates its conflict with Washington's ally Saudi Arabia. The Houthis launched a ballistic missile at Riyadh on Saturday, with no casualties reported, and previously attempted a drone attack on Mecca. Saudi Arabia has reportedly sought a two-week ceasefire through Omani mediation, after Trump declined requests for US military support. The escalating conflict threatens oil supplies by jeopardizing the Red Sea route for Gulf exports, while the Houthis have advanced toward the Bab-el-Mandeb strait and captured strategic islands.
