Why did America warn Saudi Arabia before the outbreak of the recent conflict with the Houthis... and what did it offer it?

The newspaper said, "American military and intelligence authorities have warned Saudi Arabia for months of the increasing threat from the Houthis, and called on the Saudi authorities to unify the dispersed forces of the Yemeni government."

According to the New York Times, US officials offered to help with planning and provide intelligence, including data on the movements of Houthi forces, but stressed that this assistance would be limited and would not include air strikes.

The situation escalated in Yemen in mid-July, when pro-government forces launched a strike on Sanaa airport at the moment a plane coming from Iran carrying a delegation from the Houthi leadership landed. The Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of being behind the strike, and declared war on it until the siege on the areas under their control was lifted.

CNN had quoted sources that more than 100 American military advisors arrived in Saudi Arabia to assist Riyadh in its military campaign against the Houthis. At the same time, the channel indicated that the Pentagon does not participate in direct strikes and does not supply Saudi aviation with fuel.
