Trump says he is 'going to look at' joining Saudi Arabia in the fight against Iran-backed Houthis after deadly airport strike

US President Donald Trump said he is considering joining Saudi Arabia in its fight against the Iran-backed Houthis. This comes after a deadly airstrike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, which killed 12 people and injured 309 others, according to the Punch. The attack, blamed by Saudi authorities and the Saudi-led coalition on Yemen's Houthi group, caused damage to airport facilities and temporarily suspended airport operations.

The potential US involvement in the conflict would stretch resources in the Middle East already committed to fighting Iran, according to analysts cited by CNBC. The US military's role in the region could be impacted by its involvement in the fight against the Houthis.

The conflict has also prompted travel warnings, with Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs advising against travel to Saudi Arabia and the surrounding region due to increasingly frequent attacks by Houthi rebels, as reported by ERR News Estonia.
