Scoop: Trump gave Saudi crown prince his backing for risky strikes on Houthis

Trump's backing of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen has escalated tensions significantly, marking the most serious cross-border conflict since 2022. This military action, along with retaliatory attacks by the Houthis, risks unraveling a fragile four-year truce and could lead to a renewed and intensified military conflict in the region. Such developments are critical as they potentially destabilize the already fragile peace efforts in Yemen, impacting not just regional security but also international relations involving Saudi Arabia and Iran.
