Major Attack on Riyadh Airport Leaves 12 Dead; Trump Weighs Options

Original version ·

The lid on the regional conflict in the Middle East has officially blown off, and things are looking increasingly messy.

A massive strike hit the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, resulting in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries. The Houthi militia claimed responsibility, framing it as a direct eye-for-an-eye retaliation for strikes in Yemen.

They basically said if hospitals and civilian spots in Yemen aren't off-limits, then the same logic applies to Saudi airports. It is a bleak, chaotic escalation that has put Donald Trump in a tough spot. He says he is still thinking about whether to jump into the fray.

The policy of keeping a lid on the region has officially failed.
