What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Donald Trump ordered strikes against the Houthis after Saudi Arabia requested U.S. military intervention in the Middle East. The request grew urgent as the Houthis advanced on Marib province, which contains Yemen’s largest oil and gas fields. Earlier, Trump had reversed a decision to authorize air strikes against the Houthis after Saudi Arabia appealed for military support. U.S. military leaders within the Pentagon were divided on whether to proceed with the action.
