One person was killed and 11 others wounded in a Houthi missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday. According to Saudi media, the deceased is an Islamic scholar from Bangladesh.
The strike forced US President Donald Trump to reconsider a diplomatic and political strategy designed to hold until the midterm congressional elections.
What the plan envisioned
Trump presented his strategy on Friday. He described it as a response to a “world problem” — the sharp rise in diesel fuel prices, which he blamed on Volodymyr Zelensky and his attacks on Russian refineries.
“World problem” was how Trump described the rise in diesel fuel prices, which he linked to attacks on Russian refineries.
The plan called for the administration to contain political tensions around the war in Iran and its consequences in Yemen until the midterm congressional elections.
Strategy under review
The missile strike on Riyadh airport upended that calculation. The attack on a target in the Saudi capital forced the American president to return to issues he had hoped to postpone until the end of the election campaign.
