According to Axios, bin Salman called Trump twice yesterday, asking for airstrikes but was refused help aside from CENTCOM forces advising Saudi operators (CNN's news from last night).
Axios as we know has completely destroyed its reputation this year, but I can believe this one.

Europeans should learn from Canadian courage
“Do not retaliate and you will be rewarded,” the White House told Europe in April 2025. Our leaders believed the lie. But Mark Carney has understood that appeasement only invites more attacks.
