Syria Considers Military Support to Saudi Arabia in Yemen Conflict Against Houthis
Syria is considering sending troops to Yemen to support Saudi Arabia in its conflict against Iran-backed Houthi forces, with options ranging from limited defensive aid to deploying up to 20,000 Syrian soldiers alongside Saudi-backed Yemeni forces. This follows Saudi Arabia's intensified military campaign, including a recent ground offensive with limited gains. The US reportedly does not oppose the deployment and has been consulted on arrangements. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss possible military assistance.
