> Videos show Riyadh Airport, Saudi Arabia’s main airport, being struck in a deadly attack on Saturday and again on Sunday, killing more than a dozen people, including one American. Questions are growing over whether the U.S. will join airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi militants, potentially widening the U.S.-Iran conflict weeks before the midterm elections.
