Riyadh International Airport, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was attacked by missiles and drones one after another, causing heavy casualties. U.S. President Trump publicly relented on this and stated that the U.S. military may join the Saudi camp and launch military strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, dropping a shock bomb on whether the war in the Middle East will trigger direct U.S. military intervention.
According to Reuters, when asked on the 10th whether the United States would join Saudi Arabia’s crackdown on youth movements, Trump said bluntly: “We may, and the United States will review and assess.” Trump emphasized that the United States has the latest report on the attack and will make decisions quickly, but he did not announce that the U.S. military had officially decided to join the war, nor did he disclose specific details of the operation.

Saudi Arabia has been facing its most brutal air strikes in more than 10 years in recent days. King Khalid Riyadh International Airport was hit by a missile for the first time on the 10th, directly targeting the domestic terminal, killing at least 12 people and injuring 309 people. The victims included citizens from Saudi Arabia, the United States, Bangladesh and other countries, and the operation of the airport was paralyzed. Unexpectedly, on the 11th, the airport's Terminal 4 was hit by a UFO again and caught fire, resulting in 1 death and 11 injuries. Although the Saudi Arabian air defense force was scrambled to intercept multiple cruise missiles and drones, it was still unable to cover the air defense breach.
The youth movement subsequently officially claimed responsibility for a series of attacks and announced that the front line had been further expanded. In addition to Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam in eastern Saudi Arabia and two important facilities of Saudi Aramco were also hit. The Saudi Arabian Civil Aviation Authority has confirmed that Dammam Airport was damaged and is conducting a comprehensive security assessment.
