The Iran war enters a dangerous new phase as fighting spreads across the Middle East, raising fresh concerns over regional security, energy supplies and civilian safety. A missile strike on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh killed 12 people and injured more than 300, Saudi civil aviation authorities said on Sunday. The Saudi-led coalition blamed Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, calling the attack a war crime and vowing a response.

US President Donald Trump said Washington was considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis, warning that the attack was unacceptable. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the strike after confirming that an American citizen was among those killed. The attack, described as the deadliest in a Gulf Arab country since the Iran war began, has intensified pressure on Saudi Arabia’s allies to provide military support.
