Saudi Arabia was reportedly close to launching strikes against the Houthis this past weekend, but former President Trump intervened. MBS reportedly called Trump on Thursday, pushing for the strikes, and Trump then instructed the Pentagon to prepare.

The post suggests that Trump's intervention prevented the U.S. from being drawn into a new conflict. The specific target of the potential strikes was not detailed, but the mention of Houthis implies a connection to the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
