US Expands Intelligence Support for Saudi Push Against Iran-Backed Houthis
TL;DR Summary
The US is expanding intelligence-sharing and geospatial targeting support to Saudi Arabia’s campaign in Yemen against Iran-backed Houthis. More than 100 US military advisers are on the ground, with roughly 200 troops involved in a newly formed joint forces command. Washington says it is not directly striking or refueling Saudi aircraft; the effort is framed as an extension of existing cooperation to help Saudi operations run smoothly while limiting civilian harm. The move comes amid ongoing Houthi advances and broader regional tensions, including concerns about Iran’s presence in Yemen and the risk of spillover into Red Sea shipping routes.
