The conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen is spiraling up. The Houthis frequently launch ballistic missiles and drones into the Saudi capital Riyadh and military bases, causing serious casualties and property damage, and forcing multinational airlines to suspend flights to Riyadh. Faced with the difficult situation where the mainland has been repeatedly hit hard and the defense system is stretched, Saudi Arabia has urgently sought help from the United States and requested direct military intervention. The Houthis, on the other hand, publicly warned that if the US participated in an “aggression against Yemen,” it would “severely damage all of America's interests in the region.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's request has left US President Trump, who is facing pressure from the midterm elections, in a dilemma: if the bombing of the Houthis resumes, it will not only further push up global energy prices, but may also drag the US into the quagmire of the second war in the Middle East after the Iran war; if it continues to stand idly by, it may shake the foundation of the US-Saudi alliance. As Riyadh promises a “serious response,” the regional situation is likely to slide to the edge of a more dangerous cliff.
