Story summary

In October 2026, US President Donald Trump criticized Yemen's Houthi militants, saying they were "behaving very badly" following a series of attacks on Saudi Arabian airports. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been battling the Saudi-backed Yemeni government since 2014 and intensified their attacks in response to the US-Iran war. These recent attacks included strikes on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which killed at least 13 people and injured over 300 others, causing temporary airport closures.

Trump also mentioned possibly asking Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan for assistance against the Houthis, indicating his intent to support Saudi interests. The attacks have raised concerns about shipping safety through the crucial Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical passage for global oil shipments.
