According to the US “Axios News Network” quoting two US officials, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman telephoned US President Trump twice on September 10 local time to urge him to launch an attack on the Houthis in Yemen. The report said that Trump declined the request. In the past few weeks, US military and civilian officials have made it clear to Saudi Arabia that Trump's instructions are to “let the US military concentrate on dealing with Iran and 'defending' the Strait of Hormuz to avoid opening up a new military front.” The Houthis in Yemen have recently exchanged fire on multiple fronts in Yemen with Yemeni government forces and Saudi-led coalition forces. According to multiple sources, on September 10, the Houthis took control of the strategic location along the Red Sea coast, the port city of Muha, and the Hanish Islands, a strategic location in the northern part of the Strait of Mander.
