Trump Signals US Could Join Saudi Strikes Against Houthis After Riyadh Attack

The assault on Riyadh's airport drew condemnation from the United Nations and world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, who said he is considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis. The attack, which caused a fire at the airport, came just hours after the Houthis warned airlines to avoid Saudi airports. The escalation has raised fears of a broader conflict. Trump's statement marks a potential shift in US involvement in the Yemen war. While the US has provided logistical support to the Saudi-led coalition, direct participation in strikes would be a significant escalation. The international community is urging restraint, but the situation remains tense. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have demonstrated their ability to strike deep inside Saudi territory. The attack on Riyadh's airport is a major security breach and a blow to Saudi prestige. The kingdom's response, and any US involvement, will be closely watched. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the conflict widens or if diplomatic efforts can de-escalate the situation.
