Saudi Arabia has requested the United States to exercise restraint in its response to the attacks conducted by the Yemeni resistance against ships in the Red Sea, Reuters reported on Thursday citing two Saudi sources.

The reason behind such a request is that Riyadh aims to avoid a potential spillover from the conflict between the Palestinian resistance and "Israel."
 
Earlier in the day, the Wall Street Journal said in a report that the US advised "Israel" against responding to missile and drone attacks originating from Yemen as the US volunteers to do that by themselves.

With this move, the US has taken upon itself the mission of responding to threats from the Yemeni front while being thousands of miles away from home. 

Having deployed its warships in the region, the US has already intercepted several missiles aimed at "Israel", while "Israel" has intercepted others, the WSJ report further detailed.

The US statement came shortly after the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israeli military targets in Um Al-Rashrash - "Eilat", the army spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said on Wednesday.

According to the Reuters report, the two Saudi sources reportedly said that Saudi Arabia is so far pleased with how the US has handled the situation. 

"They pressed the Americans about this and why the Gaza conflict should stop," one of the sources said.

Another informant said that Tehran was not pursuing an "all-out war in the region" that might entail direct involvement.

According to an Iranian diplomat involved in the exchange, Tehran and Washington have communicated through intermediaries regarding Yemeni operations since the commencement of the war on Gaza. The diplomat stated that both parties have conveyed messages calling for restraint.
