Saudi Crown Prince Meets U.S. CENTCOM Chief Amid Rising Houthi Threats
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with U.S. Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper amid rising threats from Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. The meeting followed the prince's requests to U.S. President Donald Trump for direct military strikes against the Houthis, which Trump declined. The U.S. offered intelligence-sharing and targeting support instead. The Houthis have intensified attacks on Saudi cities and advanced toward the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, raising concerns over regional security and oil exports.
