Description
Earlier this week, President Trump says he is considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis after the Iran-backed rebels carried out deadly attacks at Riyadh's airport. Also, two cargo ships have sunk near the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by unknown projectiles in separate incidents – highlighting the heightened danger to shipping as Iran steps up attacks in an attempt to regain control over the critical waterway. And, Houthi rebels carried out a deadly attack on the presidential Al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, the headquarters of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, on Thursday, killing five people, including two members of Prime Minister Shaya Al-Zindani’s security detail. CNN talks to experts on these developments and more from the week in Iran and the wider region. 0:00 Houthis strike Saudi airport (October 12) 3:15 Two ships sunk in the Strait of Hormuz (October 15) 7:46 Houthis attack Saudi oil HQ (October 15) 10:39 Houthis strike Yemeni presidential palace (October 16) Watch 24/7 live news with CNN Headlines: https://bit.ly/4eIvlTr Stream more on CNN with an All Access subscription: https://cnn.it/4AZMu54 #News #iran #saudiarabia
