Saudi Arabia hopes Trump will crack down on youth movement again after last year's "Strong Riders" sea and air bombings

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, has been subject to frequent attacks recently.

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was attacked by the Yemeni rebel youth movement on the 10th, killing 13 people and injuring more than 300 people. It was attacked again the next day, killing one person and injuring 11 others. News channel MS NOW quoted a Saudi official as saying that Riyadh requested urgent defense support from Washington and that the United States needed to intervene as soon as possible to assist the coalition in the war against the youth movement in Yemen.

The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority said that a flying object hit King Khalid Airport on the 11th. At least 14 people were killed in attacks by youth movements over the weekend. The Arab coalition also intercepted several missiles and drones aimed at key Saudi oil and gas facilities and other areas at night.

After the major attack on the 10th, U.S. President Trump revealed that he was considering joining the Saudi coalition to jointly combat the youth movement. "We may join. We will make a decision quickly."

If Trump decides to take joint military action, it will be another attack on the youth movement after "Operation Rough Rider" (Operation Rough Rider), which carried out sea and air bombings in 2025. However, Steven Cook, an Arab policy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a US think tank, pointed out to MS NOW that the conflict with Iran that has lasted for more than seven months and has not yet completely ended has raised questions about the United States' ability to launch another military operation, restart operations with Iran if necessary, and prepare for emergencies, especially in other regions such as East Asia.
