There are convincing reasons to believe the Trump administration may be unwilling to join Saudi Arabia's military campaign against the Houthis and may prefer to encourage other regional actors, including Israel and possibly Syria, to play a more prominent role rather than intervene directly.

Dennis Citronovich, a member of the Atlantic Council think tank, wrote: "There are compelling reasons to suggest that the Donald Trump administration may be reluctant to join Saudi Arabia's military campaign against the Houthis, preferring to encourage other regional actors, including Israel and possibly Syria, to play a stronger role instead of directly intervening."

According to "Select" report; In the continuation of this article, it is stated: First, Washington has traveled this path before. The United States knows all too well what it means to fight the Houthis: to face a highly resilient organization, ideologically motivated, with strategic military capabilities, with few constraints and relatively little to lose. Previous confrontations have shown the serious dangers facing the US naval forces; Among the cases in which American aircraft carriers faced potentially catastrophic threats.

Second, direct US involvement will almost certainly result in retaliatory Houthi attacks against US military assets and concentrations, both at sea and on land. In practice, Washington will open another front at a very critical moment.

Third, what exactly will American intervention achieve? Most likely, the Air Force alone cannot achieve a decisive result; Especially considering the serious limitations of Saudi-backed ground forces in Yemen. Without a credible and effective ground campaign, even large-scale US strikes may weaken the Houthis' capabilities without fundamentally changing the military balance.

Fourth, information and information power is still a big challenge. Despite the extraordinary operational capabilities of the US military, Washington has had difficulty in creating the intelligence picture necessary to systematically destroy the military infrastructure of the Houthis. There is little reason to think that the start of another air campaign will suddenly yield decisive results.

Fifth, Iran is still the main strategic priority of the US government. Opening another large military front against the Houthis will divert Washington's attention, resources and military capabilities from its efforts to put pressure on Tehran and prepare for a possible escalation of the conflict with Iran itself.

Sixth, the price of energy is important. The expansion of the war against the Houthis will likely exacerbate threats to regional shipping and energy infrastructure and further increase oil prices; That too at the time when the US government is trying to reduce prices.

Finally, it is unlikely that the escalation of tensions will be limited to Yemen's borders. A massive US military intervention could encourage Iraqi Shiite militias to expand their involvement in the conflict; An action that may threaten American forces in Jordan and other regions. What begins with the goal of helping Saudi Arabia can quickly turn into a much wider regional confrontation.

With these considerations in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if some Washington officials increasingly question whether now is really the right time to consider resuming talks with the Houthis or whether another military campaign should be launched against them.

But there is a serious strategic dilemma here.

The increasingly difficult situation of Saudi Arabia cannot be ignored. Riyadh is considered an important partner of America, and the victory of the Houthis, or the achievement of a political agreement that is imposed on Saudi Arabia under military pressure and is mainly in accordance with the demands of the Houthis, will be a strategic and huge achievement for Iran and the broader axis of resistance.

This is the main challenge facing Washington: direct intervention risks dragging the United States into another war in the Middle East; A costly war that may not reach a decisive result. Conversely, non-intervention could allow the Houthis to appear more powerful than before and undermine the credibility of US regional partnerships.

Therefore, the Trump administration is faced with a choice between options, none of which are attractive. As previous confrontations with the Houthis have shown, military superiority does not necessarily mean strategic success.
