🇺🇸🇾🇪 The U.S. may be walking into another war it can’t actually solve A Saudi-led Gulf coalition is reportedly preparing to strike the Houthis, potentially as early as next week. Trump is considering joining. Washington has managed to put itself in a position where either decision creates another problem....

Hmm the ground problem is the real issue. The PLC has struggled for years and bombs don't fix that

Saudi Arabia is probably asking itself what the guarantee is worth right now, and honestly that's a fair question 👀

We are only weeks away from the election. I never thought I'd see the day. I'm 67, never voted for a D for "any office" since I am 18. I vote straight R except once for Ross Perot. I sit here praying for a blue tsunami to end all the killing, corruption and Israeli influence.

Interesting point about the security guarantee. If the US stays out, do the Gulf states start looking elsewhere for protection?

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump may be preparing to enter Saudi Arabia's war after the midterms Trump’s latest warning to the Houthis has raised the possibility of a broader U.S. role in the conflict after the midterm elections. He reminded them that he will still be president after the vote and made clear he has not forgotten their attacks. Asked whether Turkey could be brought into a military response in Yemen, Trump reportedly said he was considering it. Meanwhile, the regional situation is getting more dangerous. Saudi Arabia is already struggling to protect critical infrastructure from Houthi missiles and drones. After a reported Saudi strike on a major fuel facility in Sana'a, the Houthis threatened retaliation against airports and oil installations inside the kingdom. Egypt is also reportedly considering deeper military cooperation with Riyadh. That creates the risk of a conflict extending far beyond another Saudi-Houthi confrontation. If Washington intervenes after the elections, it could find itself fighting an enemy Saudi Arabia has struggled to defeat despite years of military investment. Iran adds another layer of danger. Tehran has reportedly warned that another major U.S. offensive could trigger attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and even ground incursions into neighboring countries. None of this makes a new American war inevitable. But the pieces are moving into place for a confrontation that could pull in Turkey, Egypt, Iran and the United States, with Saudi Arabia at the center of it. Trump may be threatening a limited intervention. The region may not give him the luxury of keeping it limited. Brandon Weichert

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is planning a major counteroffensive with Yemeni government-aligned forces to retake territory captured by the Houthis. One option focuses on recovering the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Another would open a much broader front, potentially mobilizing more than 100,000 Yemeni troops under Saudi supervision and air support. The wider pattern now points toward renewed escalation. Houthi attacks are reaching deeper into Saudi territory, Riyadh has reportedly been struck repeatedly, and Saudi-backed forces in Yemen are also coming under attack. Saudi Arabia spent years trying to get out of the Yemen war. The Houthis may be dragging it back in. Brandon Weichert

🇺🇸🇾🇪 America may be preparing to open another front against the Houthis. Trump has twice refused Saudi requests for direct U.S. military help against the Houthis. The important word is “yet.” The pieces for a wider war are now quietly falling into place. Saudi Arabia has moved from fence-sitting to fighting the Houthis. Egypt is publicly demanding the reopening of Bab el-Mandeb. Israel is reportedly providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence through CENTCOM. And U.S., Israeli and Arab military chiefs have now met privately to coordinate regional security. Meanwhile, something's happening much farther from Yemen: The U.S. Air Force is pushing to improve readiness across its B-52, B-1B and B-2 long-range bomber fleets. The unspoken contingency might be Yemen. The Navy would play a limited role in a major campaign against the Houthis, leaving long-range Air Force bombers to provide much of the firepower. Saudi pressure will eventually force the issue. Whether it takes 6 weeks or 6 months, the U.S. will eventually conduct long-range strategic bombing against Houthi targets. Trump has said no. Washington could be preparing for the day that answer changes. Brandon Weichert

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 CENTCOM is reportedly proposing a regional mechanism to support Saudi Arabia against the Houthis. Brandon Weichert sees something larger taking shape. He believes Saudi Arabia’s entry into the conflict is pulling Washington and its regional partners into a more coordinated military architecture, potentially including Israeli intelligence support. And he expects American involvement to eventually go beyond coordination. “You are going to see, I think, long-range strategic bombing by the U.S. Air Force directed against the Houthis in Yemen.” If he's right, the Iran war is assembling another front.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia may be walking into a trap of its own making in Yemen. The logic from Riyadh’s side is brutal: losing to the Houthis would be humiliating, but cutting a deal while the Houthis hold the Bab el-Mandeb could look just as bad. So the temptation is to keep escalating. This is exactly where sunk-cost thinking becomes dangerous. MBS probably hasn't much faith in Saudi ground forces as they're far better suited to counterterrorism than a major ground war. That leaves Saudi Arabia with an ugly choice: Negotiate from a position that looks weak, or gamble on a war its army may not be built to win. Brandon Weichert

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia has momentum in Yemen. Now comes the harder part. The Saudi-backed counteroffensive has pushed Ansar Allah back and shown that Houthi positions are not immovable. But that is very different from defeating them. The Houthis still retain the ability to regroup, exploit weak points in advancing PLC lines and strike far beyond the immediate battlefield, including Saudi infrastructure. That creates the next problem for Riyadh. Early battlefield success could encourage Saudi Arabia and its allies to keep pushing, while the Houthis have every incentive to prove they cannot simply be forced into submission. Saudi Arabia cannot comfortably accept an Ansar Allah presence threatening the Bab el-Mandeb. The Houthis, meanwhile, cannot afford the political and military cost of appearing defeated by Riyadh. The result is a dangerous escalation cycle. Saudi-backed forces may have won the opening round. But both sides now have reasons to believe another round of fighting could improve their position before negotiations begin. And that may make the war harder, not easier, to stop. Brandon Weichert

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Any renewed Saudi campaign in Yemen would be built on a dangerous assumption: that weakening Iran automatically weakens the Houthis. Brandon argues it doesn’t. “The Houthis are an independent actor. They are partnered with Iran. But if need be, they can go it alone.” After a decade of war that failed to defeat them, the Houthis are more decentralized, more self-sufficient and better prepared than many in the West assume. And with U.S. missile stocks already under pressure, another Saudi-Houthi war could become less a second chance than a second mistake. Brandon Weichert

🇵🇰🇾🇪 Pakistan has just warned that it could enter the Yemen war to defend Saudi Arabia. This is how regional wars stop being regional. After the biggest Houthi attacks on Saudi in years, Pakistan's defense minister says there should be "no doubt" about Islamabad's obligations under the Mecca defense pact. An attack on one member is considered an attack on all three: Pakistan, Saudi, and Turkey. The problem is who Pakistan may now have to fight. The Houthis are aligned with Iran, and Pakistan has spent years carefully building its relationship with Tehran. Turkey has done the same. But if Houthi missiles continue hitting Saudi territory, that balancing act could become impossible. Pakistani officials have already travelled to Istanbul for talks as the crisis intensifies. And Iran doesn't necessarily need to attack Pakistan or Turkey directly. It can pour more support into the Houthis, increase pressure on Saudi and help turn Bab el-Mandeb into another economic chokepoint while Hormuz is already under enormous strain. That's what makes this so dangerous. Almost nobody involved appears to actually want this wider war, but alliances have consequences. One Houthi attack triggers a Saudi response; they invoke their allies, Pakistan or Turkey enters Yemen, then Iran decides it can't abandon the Houthis. And suddenly everyone discovers they've stumbled into a war they were desperately trying to avoid. The Middle East doesn't need another country to decide it wants a bigger war; it just needs the next country to decide it has no choice but to join the one already burning. Brandon Weichert

🇺🇸🇸🇦 Trump blinked on Yemen. Now the Saudis are asking if America will actually defend them. The U.S reportedly came within minutes of launching strikes against the Houthis over the weekend, but then Trump pulled back. One former U.S official offered a particularly ominous warning: “MBS will not forget this.” And while Washington hesitates, Britain is stepping in. The UK has agreed to provide aerial-refuelling support for Saudi defensive operations, putting British military aircraft directly into the Saudi war effort. Meanwhile, the Saudi-Houthi war continues, the East-West oil pipeline is gradually returning to service, and Iran still controls the pressure point that matters most: Hormuz. Trump may have avoided another U.S war, but Saudi Arabia just discovered there are limits to the American security guarantee. That realization could outlast the war itself. Brandon Weichert

🇶🇦🇸🇦 Qatar’s Prime Minister is warning the Houthis, and Iran, against opening another front against Saudi Arabia. “To have the Houthis escalating now against the Kingdom, this is a very irresponsible act that’s happening at this delicate time in the region, to instigate more conflict and to create more inflammatory events. Whether it’s coming from the Houthis or Iran at all, we should stand up to these kinds of attacks.” Qatar has separately condemned the latest Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and said the Kingdom’s security is part of the collective security of the Gulf states. The Gulf countries are making increasingly clear that they don’t want another regional front opening now. Writer: Julie

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump is thinking about joining Saudi Arabia's fight against the Houthis, but that could open another can of worms. Saudi Arabia has faced more attacks, including a deadly strike on Riyadh's main airport that killed an American. Trump says the U.S. might join the fight. But there's a catch. Trump already has a ceasefire with the Houthis, and bombing them again could end it, putting American ships back in their sights. The Houthis could also threaten Red Sea shipping, creating another choke point while Hormuz is already in trouble. So Washington might end up with another war on its hands. Writer: Daniyal

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is running out of time in Yemen Malcolm Nance thinks Saudi Arabia is approaching a decision it can no longer avoid. Either it goes back into Yemen in force, or it accepts that Ansar Allah may soon control the country and, with it, Saudi Arabia’s western oil route. Taiz is what makes this urgent. Malcolm says Ansar Allah’s advance threatens to encircle the remaining Saudi-backed forces there. If they collapse, he expects tribes aligned with the PLC to begin cutting deals with the Houthis simply to survive. “If the Saudis don't act very soon and very quickly, the Houthis will control all of Yemen.” And once that happens, he thinks the strategic problem becomes vastly harder to reverse. Saudi Arabia already faces Iranian pressure on the Persian Gulf side of its energy exports. A Houthi-controlled Yemen would give an Iranian-aligned force enormous leverage over the other route through Bab el-Mandeb. For Nance, that transforms Yemen from a neighboring civil war into a threat to the economic independence of the Saudi state. “The nation state of Saudi Arabia now cannot have a national export of its national resources without kissing the Ring of Iran and the Houthis.” Saudi Arabia would have to stop treating this as another air campaign and mobilize for a real ground war, potentially bringing in Egyptian forces and outside advisers while committing its own armor and troops deep into Yemen. The Saudis and Emiratis already tried war there once and failed. But Nance thinks the alternative is now worse. “This is an existential crisis for the economy of Saudi Arabia. Existential.” Because if Ansar Allah consolidates Yemen, Riyadh may discover that losing the war was only the beginning. It could lose control over how its own oil reaches the world. Malcolm Nance

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Scott Horton: Saudi Arabia is heading for another humiliating defeat in Yemen Scott has followed Yemen for decades, and he thinks Saudi Arabia is repeating the same mistake that cost it the last war. The Houthis aren't simply a rebel militia. They've controlled Sana'a since 2014 and inherited substantial parts of Yemen's former military. But there's a remarkable twist in how we got here. In January 2015, Washington was sharing intelligence with the Houthis to help them fight Al-Qaeda. Just two months later, Obama backed Saudi Arabia's war against them. That war ultimately strengthened Al-Qaeda in Yemen, while the Houthis survived years of bombing. Now Saudi airports and oil facilities are under attack again, and Horton expects another Saudi defeat. His bigger concern is what this means for American credibility across the Gulf. “How are you going to hide behind an American base when actually it just makes you a target?” After a decade of American military support, Riyadh is still struggling to contain the very force it set out to defeat.

⚠️ Doug Macgregor: Has Trump Concluded Saudi Arabia Can't Be Saved? In this clip, Col. Doug Macgregor (Douglas Macgregor) argues that while President Trump could redirect military assets against the Houthis, he doubts he will. His reason is stark: "Saudi Arabia may not be rescuable." He warns that there may be "nothing we can do to rescue the state of Saudi Arabia from dissolution," while contrasting what he describes as a Saudi leadership unwilling to fight for its own survival with a Houthi movement that is culturally unified, battle-hardened, and led by "very competent and strong leaders." Macgregor also notes that the Houthis' determination is rooted in years of war and suffering at the hands of the Saudi-led campaign, a reality he believes President Trump likely understands. If he's right, the real question may no longer be whether the U.S. can save Saudi Arabia, but whether Washington is prepared to accept that it cannot. ⚠️ Is Washington preparing to step into another Middle East conflict, or has the White House already decided the outcome is beyond saving?

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia went to war with the Houthis. Now it's reportedly asking them for a truce. What has happened in Yemen over the past few days is extraordinary. The Houthis have seized huge amounts of territory, consolidated their position around Bab el-Mandeb and repeatedly attacked Saudi. Riyadh asked Trump for help and got a hard no. It turned to its regional defense partners. Very little arrived. It even went to China, asking Beijing to pressure Iran into restraining the Houthis. And now, according to a report from Al Mayadeen, Saudi has approached the Houthis through Omani mediators seeking a two-week ceasefire. The timing matters. Saudi is also reportedly running low on missile interceptors and has asked Britain, France, Pakistan and Egypt to deploy additional air-defense support. America, its principal military supplier, is facing interceptor pressures of its own after six months of war. So Riyadh now finds itself in an extraordinary position. Unable to defeat the Houthis, or rely on America to do it for them, and increasingly unable to sustain the cost of defending itself from them. It's been a wild week for Riyadh. Brandon Weichert

After seeking help from the U.S., Saudi Arabia has reportedly appealed to China as Houthi forces advance along Yemen’s Red Sea coast. Reuters reports that Beijing then privately asked Iran to use its influence to rein in the Houthis. China has a major interest in keeping the region’s energy and shipping routes stable. But Iran reportedly responded that regional stability depends on ending the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, without giving a clear commitment to restrain the Houthis. With the Houthis strengthening positions near Bab el-Mandeb while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains heavily disrupted, pressure on both major maritime routes is growing. Any further escalation could have wider consequences for global energy and shipping. #iran #IranWar #Houthi #China #MBS #saudi

Reuters reports that Beijing then privately asked Iran to use its influence to rein in the Houthis. China has a major interest in keeping the region’s energy and shipping routes stable. But Iran reportedly responded that regional stability depends on ending the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, without giving a clear commitment to restrain the Houthis. With the Houthis strengthening positions near Bab el-Mandeb while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains heavily disrupted, pressure on both major maritime routes is growing. Any further escalation could have wider consequences for global energy and shipping. #iran #IranWar #Houthi #China #MBS #saudi

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷 As the Houthis push along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, the war may be opening a second strategic chokepoint alongside Hormuz. “Yemen isn’t a sideshow at all. Rather, it is the next front.” The Houthis have something the larger Saudi-backed forces may lack: unified command, combat experience and a clear reason for fighting. If they consolidate the coastline, Iran’s allies gain leverage over Bab el-Mandeb just as Hormuz remains disrupted. Two chokepoints. One increasingly connected war. Brandon Weichert

After Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged Trump to act against the Houthis, the U.S. reportedly moved toward launching airstrikes. Target lists were approved and bombs were being loaded onto American warplanes before Trump called off the operation. Saudi Arabia is seeking U.S. help as the Houthis expand toward the strategically important Bab al-Mandab Strait and threaten Red Sea shipping and Saudi interests. The Houthis have also made significant territorial gains along Yemen’s Red Sea coast. But striking the Houthis could open another U.S. military front while Washington is already fighting Iran. Trump ultimately decided against the operation, leaving Saudi Arabia to deal with the Houthi advance largely through regional forces and U.S. intelligence support. #Houthi #HouthiRebels #MBS #Trump #saudiarabia #saudi

🇸🇦🇾🇪 The Riyadh airport strike could backfire on the Houthis. Reports of a deadly missile strike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport have raised the stakes in Saudi Arabia's war with the Houthis. Early, unconfirmed casualty estimates suggest several deaths and dozens of injuries. The attack could be a serious strategic miscalculation. The Houthis have demonstrated that they can threaten Saudi Arabia's airports, oil facilities and critical infrastructure. But hitting a civilian terminal could also achieve something Riyadh has struggled to accomplish: rallying public opinion and regional allies behind a larger military intervention in Yemen. A Saudi ground offensive is now more likely, although there are reasonable doubts whether it would succeed. And that's the dilemma facing Mohammed bin Salman. Respond too weakly, and Saudi Arabia looks vulnerable. Escalate militarily, and the kingdom risks being dragged even deeper into a war it has struggled to win. The Houthis may have just given Riyadh a reason to escalate, without giving it a way to win. Brandon Weichert
