The Iran-backed Houthi militia launched a deadly attack on an international airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital on Saturday that Saudi officials said killed at least 12 people and injured over 300 more, in a dramatic escalation of the war between the kingdom and the Houthis.

The strike, which a senior Houthi official said the militia was responsible for, was the deadliest attack in a Gulf Arab country since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran began in February.

The latest toll was announced early Sunday morning by the Saudi civil aviation authority, which said four Saudi nationals and one U.S. citizen were among the 12 dead. It added that of the 309 people injured, some were in critical condition.

The Saudis have purchased alot of weapons and technology from the US but they dont know how to use them.

US will have to get involved if they don't want iran running the middle east

Saudi Arabia has 380 plus fighter jets. All ME countries generally aligned against Iran(including Israel)is 1800. No damn reason they can't handle their own business.

They don't have any baws. They rely on hired help that aren't fighting for their own future.

Because our actions in Iran have nothing to do with this at all.

Shortly after the attack on Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump said he was evaluating whether the U.S. should join Saudi strikes against the rebels. “We may. We’re going to look at it,” he said. “We just found out about the recent attack. So we’ll make a decision. We move very quickly.”

The Houthis aren't in Iran and don't seem to need their backing
