Saudi nationals killed as Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen step up airport attacks | BBC News

Saudi Arabia has said three people have been killed after the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attacked Riyadh airport on Thursday.

It’s the latest in series of attacks on airports across the country, as the conflict escalates between Saudi-supported Yemeni government forces and the Houthis.

Elsewhere a US Treasury official has told the BBC that economic pressure from America has Tehran ‘on its knees’, and they hope the tactic will end the current regime in Iran.

Meanwhile Iran’s president has said his country will not walk away from peace negotiations, despite threats from the United States.
