Trump condemns Houthi missile attacks after Saudi Crown Prince call

President Donald Trump said the Houthis were "misbehaving very badly" after a phone conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, describing recent attacks on Saudi facilities as unacceptable. The remarks came as the Saudi-led coalition announced it had intercepted three ballistic missiles launched by the Iran-aligned group toward Riyadh and Khamis Mushait.

"The Houthis are misbehaving," Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn, adding that the group’s actions were "no good."

Houthi political bureau member Mohammed Al Bukhaiti warned that any U.S. involvement in Saudi actions against Yemen would provoke a swift and painful response targeting American interests in the region. The group also threatened workers at Saudi oil facilities and airports, labeling them as legitimate targets.

The coalition’s spokesperson, Colonel Turki Al-Maliki, confirmed the destruction of two ballistic missiles aimed at Khamis Mushait and another missile directed at Riyadh. The attacks follow a deadly strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh that killed at least 13 people and injured hundreds.

The United States has not ruled out further military action against Iran, with Trump suggesting that the war with Iran could end soon and that oil prices would then fall sharply.
