Sanaa/Tehran (AFP/Newsdesk) On Friday, Houthi fighters captured the entire Red Sea coastal area of Yemen and also took control of three important strategic islands. Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei’s adviser, Mohammad Mokhbar, has congratulated the Houthis. The American news website Exeos has claimed, citing American officials, that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made two telephone calls to President Trump on Thursday and requested him to launch attacks against the Houthis, but Trump rejected the request and refused to help. Two sources said that Washington has informed Riyadh that it is not ready to take direct military action at the moment, but will provide assistance in the exchange of intelligence information and determination of targets. Meanwhile, Tehran says that there will be talks with the Gulf countries on the Strait of Hormuz in Oman on Monday. In addition, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan had a telephone conversation in which the current developments in the region were discussed. According to the British Broadcasting Agency, Abbas Araqchi also discussed the current situation with the Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir. On this occasion, they discussed efforts to restore diplomatic efforts and reduce tensions, while President Trump said, linking the war against terrorism with the Iran conflict. The United States will never forget the 9/11 attacks. Twenty-five years later, the United States is continuing the war against terrorism by fighting against Iran, while the US Secretary of Defense Pat Hegseth has said that the United States will bring the war against Iran to a logical end. Western diplomats have warned that a comprehensive strategy is needed to defeat the Houthis, while the head of the Central Command has arrived in Saudi Arabia to discuss the Houthis’ advance. According to details, the American news website Exios has reported that President Trump rejected the request of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to carry out airstrikes against the Houthi fighters in Yemen. Washington will provide Saudi Arabia with intelligence on the Houthis and information on targets, according to a US official. In addition, more than 200 US military personnel are already in Saudi Arabia providing non-combat support.
