US Troops Deploy to Mideast

Trump vows swift end to potential Iran conflict as thousands of US troops deploy.

The Saudi-led coalition is accusing Iran-backed Houthi rebels of attacking an electricity distribution station in Medina, Saudi Arabia, which is home to the second holiest site in Islam. The alleged attack has been condemned by the Muslim world and led to multiple air strikes on Houthi targets in recent weeks. The coalition confirmed the Houthis' involvement in the attack, stating that one transformer was taken out of service without affecting the wider electricity network. The Houthis denied any involvement.
