About this episode

October 11, 2026; 7am: A missile attack on Saudi Arabia's International airport in Riyadh left 12 people dead, including an American, and more than 300 injured. A Saudi-led coalition blamed Iran-backed Houthi rebels for the attack, and President Trump indicated that he is weighing whether the U.S. should join Saudi strikes against the Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen. Two Saudi Arabian government officials have told MS NOW Contributor Inzamam Rashid that the Kingdom is requesting "urgent defense support" from the U.S. following multiple attacks on airports in the capital, Riyadh. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde joins “The Weekend” to discuss.
