Trump says Houthis 'misbehaving very badly'

US President Donald Trump harshly criticized Yemen's Houthi rebels on Monday, accusing them of misbehaving "very badly" in escalating attacks against Saudi Arabia. When asked about the potential impact of the US midterm elections on the situation, Trump stated he didn't consider it a factor and reiterated his belief that Iran would never acquire a nuclear weapon.

The attacks on Saudi Arabia, including strikes on King Khalid International Airport and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, have raised concerns. Trump mentioned the US might consider joining Saudi Arabia in military operations against the Houthis following a recent attack on King Khalid International Airport. Iran's Foreign Minister held talks with his Iraqi counterpart to discuss regional developments, including the worsening situation in Yemen.

The Saudi-led coalition claimed to have intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia towards Khamis Mushait airbase.
