Iran calls U.S. response "insufficient" amid stalled talks to end the war 2:55 PM / October 11, 2026 Saudi authorities say King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was attacked Saudi's General Authority of Civil Aviation on Sunday confirmed that King Fahd International Airport had been attacked after the Iran-backed Houthis said they had targeted the airport in Dammam. It's unclear whether there were any injuries. The Saudi civil aviation authority said it is assessing the damage. King Fahd International Airport is located approximately 400 miles away from the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which was also attacked on Sunday. 2:39 PM / October 11, 2026 Saudi, Egypt, Pakistan and Turkey condemn Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Turkey on Sunday issued a joint statement condemning the Houthis' attacks against Saudi Arabia, including the latest strike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport. The regional group of four nations said the attacks in Riyadh, which killed at least 12 people and wounded another 309 the previous day, "constitute a blatant violation of international law." An American was among those victims. Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation said those killed also included four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshis and one person each from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan. 2:16 PM / October 11, 2026 Iran calls U.S. response "insufficient" amid stalled talks to end the war The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said Tehran considers the latest U.S. response "insufficient," amid stalled negotiations to end the war and fully open the Strait of Hormuz. The comments by Mohsen Rezaei, a former Revolutionary Guard commander, were reported by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency. Rezaei added that Iran is no longer responding to the U.S. and said Washington must clarify certain issues, without giving details. He said the U.S. has accepted some of the seven conditions but others remain unclear. Iran's delegation to the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders last month proposed a sped-up agreement that echoed the memorandum of understanding that collapsed days after the U.S. and Iran signed it in June. The new proposal was rejected, but the two sides have remained in contact via mediation. Rezaei also threatened "cables, data centers, AI facilities and other sites in the region" if intense fighting breaks out again. 12:53 PM / October 11, 2026 Houthis claim Saudi airport attacks, including new strike on Sunday Another projectile struck a passenger terminal at the international airport in Riyadh on Sunday, according to the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The latest attack came one day after a missile hit the same airport terminal, killing 12 people and injuring hundreds. Details about the latest strike on the King Khalid International Airport complex weren't immediately available, outside of the fact that terminals 3 and 4, for domestic flights, were affected. The missile attack Saturday was the deadliest in a Gulf Arab nation since the Iran war began. Of around 300 people wounded in its aftermath, some suffered critical injuries. The airport was closed Sunday. The newest attack happened as the Houthis said they carried out at least four operations targeting the airport in Riyadh since Saturday. Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said on Telegram that the attacks came in response to "brutal Saudi aggression against our country and our people," CBS News partner BBC News reported. He claimed Saudi Arabia launched more than 120 airstrikes in the past 24 hours in parts of Yemen under Houthi control. CBS/AP 12:01 PM / October 11, 2026 Sen. Chris Murphy warns against U.S. retaliating on Saudi's behalf amid war "spiraling out of control" Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, of Connecticut, said the U.S. shouldn't retaliate on Saudi Arabia's behalf following the strike at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, arguing that going to war with the Houthis in Yemen would be an escalation with dangerous consequences. "This administration is absolutely incompetent in war-making, and so just as we have made the Middle East worse and more chaotic by getting involved in a war against Iran, we would simply escalate and make the situation even more dangerous," Murphy said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." Murphy, who said he was at the Riyadh airport the day before the strike, said, "What I saw on the ground is a war that is spiraling out of control." Murphy cited the 12 people killed in the airport strike, a "full-blown new war" between the Houthis in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the Iranians restarting their missile programs, and evidence that he said suggests they're restarting nuclear research activities, along with the deaths of American service members and the war's high price tag. "If the Trump administration was trying to lose this war, they couldn't do worse than they are doing," Murphy said. "This is a humiliation to the United States. The war is getting bigger and more dangerous, not smaller and more limited." 11:12 AM / October 11, 2026 Netanyahu denounces Riyadh attack, calls for a region "united against threats" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out Sunday in the wake of the deadly attack on Saudi Arabia's Riyadh airport, joining leaders from other countries in the region and beyond who've condemned it. The U.S., Israel and other nations have blamed Yemen's Houthis for the strike, although the group hasn't claimed responsibility for it outright. "Terrorism targets innocent people and seeks to spread fear and instability. It must be confronted with resolve," said Netanyahu in a statement posted to X. "Israel looks forward to a strong Middle East—one that stands united against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all the peoples of our region." Netanyahu also shared "condolences to the families of those murdered" and "wishes for a full recovery to the injured." 10:16 AM / October 11, 2026 UAE declares "full solidarity with Saudi Arabia" after deadly airport attack The United Arab Emirates issued a statement Sunday reiterating its "full solidarity with Saudi Arabia" after the deadly attack on Riyadh's airport. The statement, released by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the UAE supports "all measures" to protect security in the kingdom. "The UAE expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims, as well as its wishes for a speedy recovery for all the injured," the statement said. 8:28 AM / October 11, 2026 Houthis issue new threat to Saudi airports and airspace, warn against travel Yemen's Houthis have issued a new threat to Saudi Arabia's airspace since an attack on the kingdom's international airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and wounded hundreds, forcing authorities to stop operations. Although the Iran-backed group hasn't claimed the strike, its military spokesperson threatened new attacks on the kingdom's airports and airspace, saying in a statement that they're "potential targets and sites for operations by our forces," CBS partner BBC News reported. "The airports and airspace are exposed to targeting and constitute a theatre of operations for our forces," Yahya Saree, the Houthi spokesperson, wrote Sunday in a post on X. Passengers have been warned not to travel. The holy cities of Mecca and Medina wouldn't be targeted, Saree said. Saturday's attack, the deadliest on Saudi soil in more than a decade, was a sharp escalation in the Yemen war, where Riyadh backs the internationally-recognized government against the Houthis, who captured swaths of Red Sea coastline in a lightning offensive last month. The strike came in a week when the group intensified its attacks on the Saudi capital's King Khalid International Airport, where three people were also killed on Thursday, as well as other key targets in the world's top crude oil exporter. CBS/AFP 8:06 AM / October 11, 2026 France condemns Houthi attack on Riyadh airport France on Sunday condemned the "heinous attack" by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis on Riyadh's international airport a day earlier, stressing its "total solidarity" with Saudi Arabia. France, which is already lending troops and military equipment to Saudi Arabia, "will continue to remain by its side" in order to defend "its territory and its infrastructure," the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The ministry called on the Houthis to cease their attacks, echoing a previous statement issued by the French agency last week, in which it implored Houthi fighters to "immediately end their attacks and provocations, which destabilize the region further."
