Donald Trump has threatened to embroil the United States in another international conflict after Houthi terrorists struck a Saudi Arabian airport, leaving at least 13 people dead.
The rebel group has ramped up attacks on the kingdom in recent days, including five separate strikes at King Khalid International Airport and another at Abha International Airport.
President Trump waded into the debate today, revealing he "may" aid Saudi Arabia in their retaliation against the terror group.
"We’re going to look at it," he told reporters. "We just found out about the recent attack. So we’ll make a decision. We move very quickly."
He described the strikes as a "terrible thing" and "not acceptable".
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, said the US "strongly condemns" the Houthi strikes and confirmed that one American had been killed.
"These reprehensible attacks demonstrate a blatant disregard for innocent civilian life," he said. "They must stop now.
"We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people and extend our condolences to the victims and their families."

Yesterday's horror marked Saudi Arabia's deadliest terror attack in a decade, and was followed up today with another strike when an "unknown projectile" hit a passenger hall, resulting in a fire.
Saudi's civil aviation authority this afternoon confirmed the latest attack, saying it resulted in "some injuries," adding: "Damage assessments and safety inspections of airport facilities are underway."
Houthi took responsibility for the attacks, which they claim were a response to the "brutal Saudi aggression against our country and our people".

The terrorist group said Saudi Arabia has launched 124 airstrikes in 24 hours at the Yemeni territory they control.
They added: "We reiterate our warning to all international companies, experts, employees, workers, and travellers from all over the world to not operate flights to Saudi airports, as they are unsafe, except for the airports and airspace of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina."
Saturday's strikes left 13 dead and more than 300 injured, and was the deadliest attack in a Gulf Arab country since the Iran conflict began.
The Saudi civil aviation authority said the dead included four Saudi nationals, two Bangladeshis, and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt.

Hospitals were flooded with wounded brought by helicopter and at least six ambulances, according to reports in The New York Times.
Repeated attacks have forced the kingdom to cancel major international events, while hundreds of flights have been delayed or cancelled, and schools have been moved to online learning over safety concerns.
UK nationals have been told to avoid the airport in a warning issued by the Foreign Office.
