The United States has so far held back from direct military intervention in Yemen after US officials met Houthi leaders in Oman, according to reports. The talks reportedly focused on keeping the existing ceasefire between Washington and the Houthis and preventing attacks on US vessels in the Red Sea. The development comes as the Iran-backed group advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and launches attacks inside Saudi Arabia. Washington’s decision not to intervene directly has increased pressure on Riyadh to respond to the Houthi advance. US officials have maintained contact with the group, while regional tensions and oil prices remain elevated. (PC: India Today)
