Outside assistance in the Saudi-Houthi conflict

How soon might outside forces help Saudi Arabia against the Houthis?

No timetable is offered. Logistics and intelligence support are considered more likely than direct military intervention.

Possible assistance following a reported Saudi request is expected to concentrate on logistics and intelligence, given reluctance towards direct intervention. Older regional disputes, including conflict with the Hashemite kingdom and earlier Saudi actions, form part of the explanation offered for the conflict. Economic stabilisation in Yemen is proposed as a means of reducing Houthi support. Its difficulty is acknowledged, and no timetable for involvement is offered.
