Despite two phone calls from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman asking for intervention, Trump has prioritized focusing on Iran and avoiding expanding the conflict, which could entail opening a second front. The Houthis aim to block trade through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, affecting Saudi oil exports. Recent weeks have seen continued clashes between Saudi forces and Houthis, including attacks damaging Saudi oil facilities that wounded at least 73 people. The U.S. is providing behind-the-scenes support, including over 100 military advisers in Saudi Arabia and a joint command to counter Iranian assistance to the Houthis. The situation remains tense, with ongoing regional security concerns and increased attacks from Houthi forces targeting Saudi infrastructure.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A new report says that President Donald Trump has so far resisted calls from Saudi Arabia to attack the Houthi rebels in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi Crown Prince\u00a0Mohammed bin Salman\u00a0has made two phone calls to Trump to ask for military intervention against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/09\/11\/houthis-yemen-saudi-trump-mbs-strikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has refused the entreaties and has no plans to become militarily involved in the dispute, according to sources Axios did not name.<\/p>\n<p>The sources said Trump is keeping his Middle East focus on Iran and does not want to open a second front and expand the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The Houthis have said their goal is to block trade through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, through which Saudi oil exports flow.<\/p>\n<p>The Saudis and Houthis have been exchanging strikes in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In July, Saudi officials said they could handle the Houthis, but that has since changed.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, as the government of Yemen\u2019s forces retreated before a Houthi onslaught, the prince called Trump to ask for help, Axios reported.<\/p>\n<p>A second call followed to beg for help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States is focused on protecting our core national security interests \u2014 such as ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea \u2014 while empowering our regional partners to take the lead in managing and resolving regional security challenges,\u201d a U.S. official said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in continuous dialogue with Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Yemen Government regarding regional stability,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/09\/10\/politics\/us-military-support-saudi-arabia-houthi-iran-yemen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>, the U.S. is working closely with the Saudis behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 U.S. military advisers are in Saudi Arabia providing intelligence and support in picking targets, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted one source put the size of the U.S. commitment at 200 troops.<\/p>\n<p>The report said a joint command was formed in the past few weeks to respond to stepped-up assistance to the Houthis from Iran.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Houthi attacks damaged Saudi oil facilities and left 73 people wounded, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/09\/08\/g-s1-142296\/houthi-attacks-saudi-arabia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi military representative Maj.
