WASHINGTON — President Trump warned that the US may join Saudi Arabia in its upcoming retaliatory attacks against the Houthis after the Iran-backed terror group carried out the deadliest attack on Riyadh and has threatened even more attacks on civilian enclaves. A Houthi spokesperson warned over the weekend that airports have become “a theatre of operations for our forces” and urged “everyone to take our warnings seriously,” while accusing the Saudis of bearing “responsibility for any failed interceptions. ” Until now, Trump had seemingly refrained from attacking the Yemen-based terror group due to a sense that the Houthis have adhered to their end of a May cease-fire in which it committed to not attack vessels in the Red Sea and a broader desire to stay out of a messy conflict that predated the Iran war.
