War in the Middle East: Houthis attack Riyadh airport again and warn the United States

Quick Look

Yemen's Houthis have stepped up attacks on Saudi Arabia, claiming ballistic missile strikes on Riyadh and surrounding areas, while a pro-Iranian official warned the United States against intervening in Yemen's conflict, promising a swift and painful response.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Hostilities between the Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces resumed in July and intensified in September, with a recent increase in the scale of attacks on Saudi territory.

Font size

The escalation continues in the Middle East between the Houthis of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. And the pro-Iranian rebels do not intend to see the United States interfere in the fighting. They in fact issued a warning to the Americans on Monday, whose support Riyadh has requested, so far without success.

Hostilities resumed in July between the Houthis and Yemeni government forces, as well as Saudi Arabia, which militarily supports the latter in Yemen, and intensified in September. But the scale of attacks on the Gulf petromonarchy has reached an unprecedented level in recent days.

New strong explosions in Riyadh

On Monday evening, strong explosions shook the Saudi capital again, and residents received a message on their phones from the authorities calling on them to take refuge “in a safe place” – for the first time in weeks. The Houthis shortly after claimed responsibility for a new attack on the airport, targeted several times in recent days, with Riyadh saying for its part that it had intercepted a ballistic missile.

Later, the coalition announced that it had intercepted two more ballistic missiles, this time in the southeast of the kingdom, near the border with Yemen. These missiles, launched “in the direction of Khamis Mushait”, a town where a Saudi military base has already been the target of attacks, were destroyed, the coalition said on X.

Donald Trump on Saturday deemed the attack the same day on the Saudi capital “unacceptable”. The US president then declared on Monday that “the Houthis are behaving very badly. They behave very badly. It’s not good.”

Iran wants to “facilitate dialogue”

Pro-Iranian fighters have also warned Washington. “If the United States becomes involved in aggression against Yemen, we will not procrastinate [
]. The response will be swift and painful against the United States and all its interests in the region,” said a senior Houthi official, Mohammed Al Bukhaiti, interviewed by AFP in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Faced with “the stubbornness [of Riyadh] in favoring the military option”, he threatened the destruction of “all Saudi infrastructure” and called on employees of Saudi oil sites and airports not to approach them.

Our articles on the situation in the Middle East

Iran, which supports the Houthis, reiterated on Monday that it was “deeply concerned by the development of the situation”, and willing to “facilitate dialogue between the parties”.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • The Houthis will continue their ballistic missile attacks against Saudi Arabia as long as the conflict continues.

    Very likely · Within weeks

  • Iran will continue to support the Houthis while calling for dialogue to avoid further escalation.

    Likely · Within months

Open Questions

  • ?Will the United States ultimately intervene militarily in the conflict despite warnings from the Houthis?
  • ?How big will the Houthi response be if the United States becomes involved in aggression against Yemen?
  • ?Will Iran succeed in facilitating a dialogue between the parties as it announced?

“Unacceptable” attacks, NATO informed: two new ships struck in the Black Sea, off the coast of Bulgaria

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev announced on Tuesday that two ships were struck by drones near the Bulgarian coast in the Black Sea, including a Maltese-flagged ship belonging to Ukraine and another which sank. He called the attacks unacceptable and wants to summon the Russian ambassador. The previous week, two other merchant ships had already been struck in the Bulgarian exclusive economic zone, one having sunk with a crew of nine Syrians and an Egyptian still missing. Radev said the outcome of the attacks benefits Russia, without clear evidence of accusation, while Ukraine's foreign minister called for increased pressure on Russia, which he accuses of using hunger as a weapon.

The King of Spain Felipe VI goes to Ceuta this Tuesday for an extremely rare and diplomatically very sensitive visit

King Felipe VI goes to Ceuta on Tuesday for an extremely rare visit, two and a half months after the massive influx of migrants into this Spanish enclave in northern Africa, whose sovereignty is claimed by Morocco. On Wednesday he will travel to Melilla with Queen Letizia. This visit comes less than seven weeks before the early elections of November 29, when the migration issue promises to be a major theme of the campaign. The authorities have set up centers to accommodate more than 7,000 people and 2,800 minors, allowing the evacuation of large migrant camps set up on certain beaches in the city. On Sunday, the police evacuated the last camp on the territory's beaches, reducing the makeshift shelters where some 400 people lived to rubble. The visit will begin with a meeting with the authorities at city hall, followed by a visit to a school where Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu communities have historically coexisted. The sovereigns will then go to the Sidi Embarek cemetery to pay tribute to more than a hundred people who died during the massive arrival of migrants, according to Madrid and Rabat. Felipe VI will then speak during a meeting with representatives of Ceutian civil society.
