Syria weighs sending troops to Yemen to fight Houthis; Saudi, US consulted

Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing deploying Syrian troops to Yemen to join the counteroffensive against Houthi rebels, with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa seriously considering the move but not yet decided. The Trump administration has been consulted and is not opposed in principle. This would mark a significant expansion of Syria's regional military role and could inject a sectarian dimension into the Yemen conflict, potentially escalating it.
