US considers boosting aerial support for Saudi Arabia against Houthis

CBS News has reported that the administration of President Donald Trump is considering providing aerial support to Saudi forces in their operations against Houthi militants, while also weighing the resumption of military strikes against Iran.

The report comes amid growing international support for Saudi Arabia in response to Houthi attacks. Foreign ministers from eight countries, including France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, described the attacks as "horrific" during a meeting in Istanbul yesterday. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council affirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defense under international law in a presidential statement.

The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen continues its operations against the Houthi militia, including a recent targeted operation against fuel and military supply sources in Sanaa, Hodeidah, and Dhamar. The coalition has also intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles and drones launched by the militia toward Saudi territory.
