This is the first time since Yemen's civil war resumed that strikes have threatened Riyadh.
The United States warned on Saturday (Sep 19) that hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthis could "escalate rapidly" after a missile attack targeted Riyadh for the first time since the Yemen conflict resumed.
US President Donald Trump cut short a weekend at Camp David, a secluded presidential complex in rural Maryland, to return unexpectedly to the White House on Saturday.
The White House gave no explanation for the early return, which comes as a new threshold was crossed in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, who control a large part of Yemen and are fighting government forces backed by a coalition led by Riyadh.

Well, the terrorists all want chaos to “facilitate” the “return of the 12th Imam…”
Not what I voted for 3 times.
Indeed they do...
They ARE actively trying to make it happen
WTF are the Saudis doing with the billions in arms that they buy from the USA? Sitting there polishing the planes? They need to step up and join the fight.
Your field of view is obviously too narrow for living in the real world
Fear?
I just hope both sides have fun.
That would be accusing Iran and not the U.S. The media are probably saving it for when they can accuse us.
Only time the middle east wasn’t at war was before people got there.
Neocons win again.
The timing of the ME escalation is very suspect. Right before a pivotal American election reinforces my belief when America goes to war, it must do so with overwhelming force immediately to bring the enemy to its knees, begging for forgiveness while surrendering.
FU and your imaginary “neocon” bogeymen fantasy
This is all caused by Iran (and their supplier, Russia), dumbass

Head on a swivel, folks... and be prepared for ‘anything’. This is the era in which we now live, thanks to evil and idiots... and evil idiots.
“The US Department of State’s Consular Affairs has issued a security alert for the Middle East, urging American citizens in the region to exercise heightened vigilance amid ongoing tensions and the potential for an unforeseen escalation.”
You prefer nuclear war?

You can’t show one relevant example of that happening over the last 250 years, but we’re all entitled to wishful thinking.
“You prefer nuclear war?”

You sound just like Putin’s sidekick Medvedev when he gets frustrated and starts rattling the Russian sabers for intimidation.
The whole region is nothing but inbred tribal low IQ islamic fanatics. Let them kill each other but keep their oil. Mad Moe knew one thing. How to give something to the savages to reward the most base lizard brain instincts of man.
No, I support Ukraine in that war. What I wrote was/is your real choice regarding Iran.
