Riyadh Airport Attack, US Considers Response

A deadly missile attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed 12, with Iran-backed Houthi rebels blamed and US President Trump considering joining Saudi strikes. US forces also disabled a vessel in the Gulf of Oman. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas postponed elections to 2027, citing conditions in Gaza and the West Bank, prolonging a two-decade gap. Reports indicate the US asked Israel to strike Iran, a move allegedly blocked by Eyal Zamir. Domestically, Ofer Vinter is making demands for a new government coalition. Globally, finance officials at IMF-World Bank meetings face risks from the Middle East war, energy shocks, and rising interest rates.
