Why it matters
The attacks have disrupted air travel and forced the U.S. State Department to order non-emergency government employees to leave Saudi Arabia. The Houthis' campaign against Saudi cities and energy infrastructure has led President Donald Trump to weigh direct military strikes. Bahrain has affirmed its support for Saudi Arabia's measures to protect its sovereignty and stability.
