🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 Houthi missiles kill 12 and injures over 300, including an American, at Riyadh’s main airport Saudi aviation authorities say the strike on King Khalid International killed 12 people and injured 309, and the dead include four Saudis, two Bangladeshis and one American, as hospitals across Riyadh switched to disaster protocols. King Fahd International in Dammam then halted all operations after another hit, and satellite images reportedly show fires at Khurais, a Ghawar processing plant and the Hawiyah gas plant. Trump says the US may join the Saudi strikes on the Houthis and is looking at it now. Israeli jets were reported over southern Syria and Iraq with no strikes on Iran yet, Bloomberg says Iran kept much of its missile production intact, and the IRGC warned six Emirati ships off the strait. Riyadh published its death toll FAST, which looks like a government preparing to escalate, and Washington is one decision away from joining it. @WeTheBrandon
