US President Trump responded that he has no such plan, signaling a divergence in allied approaches. The request, if confirmed, marks an escalation in Saudi efforts to counter Houthi threats, but the lack of US backing may limit its feasibility.

US Declines Saudi Request for Direct Houthi Strikes; Offers Intelligence Support

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has repeatedly urged President Trump to conduct direct military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. The US has declined these requests, instead offering intelligence support and dispatching CENTCOM leadership for talks, indicating a preference for indirect engagement over direct military intervention. The reported expenditure of 30 Patriot missiles by the US remains unconfirmed, as does a Saudi request for EU strikes.
