BREAKING: Saudi Arabia is completely frustrated with the Trump administration after Washington rejected Riyadh's request for direct U.S. military action against the Houthis — and is now facing its worst-case scenario, per NYT.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly asked Trump for U.S. strikes. Trump declined. Within days, the Houthis seized key territory around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, Saudi-backed forces were routed, and the East-West oil pipeline was shut down following attacks.
Former U.S. ambassador Michael Ratney described Riyadh's position as "their worst-case scenario."
Riyadh asked its most powerful ally for help. Washington offered intelligence instead. Now Saudi Arabia is facing threats to both its security and its oil lifeline — alone.
The message is unmistakable: America's Gulf partners are learning the hard way that Washington's security guarantees come with limits. And the limits have been reached.
