Riyadh (HRNW) — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly contacted U.S. President Donald Trump twice and urged the United States to launch military action against the Houthis in Yemen. Trump reportedly declined the request.
According to reports, Mohammed bin Salman pressed for U.S. military strikes against the Houthi group in Yemen. However, the U.S. president reportedly refused to agree to the Saudi request.
The reported request comes amid continuing tensions in Yemen and the wider Middle East, with concerns over the potential escalation of military operations in the region.
The reported refusal has also raised questions about possible differences between Saudi Arabia and the United States regarding the preferred approach toward the Houthis and the situation in Yemen.
However, the full details of the alleged conversations between Mohammed bin Salman and Donald Trump have not been independently verified.

Any renewed military action in Yemen could have serious consequences for civilians. Further escalation could result in loss of life, displacement, damage to civilian infrastructure and worsening access to food and medical services. All parties must prioritize civilian protection and compliance with international humanitarian law.
