Trump Signals Potential Military Involvement Amid Rising Tensions

US President Donald Trump has stated that the US may join Saudi strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, following an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The attack, which left several people injured, prompted the airport to temporarily suspend operations. The US and UK embassies in Saudi Arabia have also warned their citizens to avoid the airport due to security risks. The situation in Yemen has been volatile since the Houthis seized control of the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene. This development was reported by an unknown source.
