A major arms deal between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is under review by Congress amid growing tensions in Yemen, where Saudi-led forces continue their conflict with the Houthi rebels. The proposed agreement, which would strengthen military cooperation, has drawn scrutiny as Washington weighs its support for Riyadh’s campaign against the Iran-aligned group. With regional stability at stake, lawmakers face pressure to balance strategic alliances with humanitarian concerns over the prolonged war. The outcome could reshape U.S. involvement in one of the Middle East’s most volatile conflicts.
The deal, which needs approval from Congress, comes as Riyadh seeks Washington's help in its war with Yemen's Houthis.
