Why Has the US Not Intervened to Defend Saudi Arabia From Houthi Attacks?
Analysis examines Washington's reluctance to act militarily despite its close alliance with Riyadh amid an escalating Houthi offensive in Yemen.
The United States has warned against a rapidly escalating situation in Yemen after Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on the Saudi capital, according to France 24.
In recent weeks, the Iran-backed group has also seized large portions of Yemeni territory following clashes with Saudi-backed government forces, France 24 reported.
Despite Washington's close alliance with Riyadh, the United States has appeared unwilling to intervene militarily on Saudi Arabia's behalf, a question examined in an analysis by H. A. Hellyer, senior fellow in geopolitics at the Royal United Institute in Cairo, published by France 24.
