Houthis move to seize strategic terrain after Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported27m ago
Following a personal appeal from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly called off a planned military strike against Houthi forces in Yemen at the last minute. Reports indicate that target lists had already received approval and munitions were actively being loaded onto U.S. warplanes before the decision to reverse course was made.
In the wake of the canceled airstrikes, Houthi fighters have mobilized to capture strategic terrain in Yemen. Specifically, these forces are moving to seize strategic heights designed to sever the Red Sea coast from territories currently controlled by Saudi-backed forces.
