Yemeni rebel attack on a civilian airport in southern Saudi Arabia kills a Syrian national and injures seven civilians - Riyadh-led coalition
Saudi security officers are seen at Saudi Arabia's Abha airport, after it was attacked by Yemen's Houthi group in Abha, Saudi Arabia, June 13, 2019.
The Sunday attack by the Yemeni rebels, known as Houthis, targeted the Saudi airport in Abha. Saudi Arabia has been at war with the Houthis in Yemen for more than four years. His meetings in Saudi Arabia will be in the Red Sea city of Jiddah, about 505 kilometres north of where the Saudi airport was struck.
Bolton's tough message seemed to be aimed not only at Tehran, but also at reassuring key US allies that the White House remains committed to maintaining pressure on Iran. Israel, along with Arab countries in the Gulf, considers Iran to be their greatest threat, and Trump's last-minute about face appears to have raised questions about US willingness to use force against the Islamic Republic.
Netanyahu made no mention of the called-off air strike and said he was "pleased" by US plans for increased economic pressure. But some Israeli commentators said that Trump's about-face was a cause for concern. According to IRNA, Iranian officials told Murrision they hoped that European signatories to the nuclear deal will pursue "normal relations and trade" despite the sanctions.
