CNN, citing multiple sources, reports more than 100 U.S. military advisers are deployed in Saudi Arabia to provide intelligence and targeting support against Yemen’s Houthi movement. The personnel are part of a recently formed joint force command totaling about 200. The U.S. has provided target-location tools enabling near‑real‑time battlefield visibility and geospatial strike support, but is not directly conducting airstrikes or supplying aerial refueling or other combat support. The assistance is described as aimed at helping Saudi forces operate more smoothly and professionally. The expansion of support comes as Houthi forces press advances on the Arabian Peninsula, with fighting at its most intense since 2022; the Houthis recently captured a strategic Red Sea port, raising U.S. and Saudi concern about a possible second front. U.S. officials say they assess there are hundreds of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel in Yemen working with the Houthis, reportedly with an objective to close the Bab al‑Mandeb. U.S. military leaders remain cautious about deeper involvement over the risk of civilian casualties and political fallout.

Vice President Vance delivered one of the most significant speeches of his career, positioning for a possible 2028 presidential bid. He paired an upbeat focus on family and America's potential with direct attacks on Democratic congressional candidates, singling out Texas state Senate candidate James Talarico by the Trump-coined nickname Talafreako. Vance said some Democratic candidates need a "one-way ticket to the insane asylum" and urged they be driven out. Republicans spent the evening portraying Democrats as extreme leftists intent on destroying America; Vance's remarks were relatively optimistic in tone but contained sustained partisan assaults.
