Saudi Airport Attack Kills 12 as Conflict Escalates
Context
Bloomberg Middle East reporter Dan Williams tells Bloomberg This Weekend that an attack on Riyadh's international airport that killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300 marks a significant escalation in fighting between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. Speaking with hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini, Williams discusses the possibility of US military intervention, the threat to Saudi Arabia's investment ambitions and Iran's efforts to rebuild its missile arsenal amid uncertainty over renewed hostilities.
