Trump Signs Russia-Iran Sanctions Package; Houthis Claim Riyadh Missile Strike
President Trump has signed executive orders imposing new sanctions targeting Russian oil and gas supplies and making existing Iran-linked sanctions permanent, according to BBC Amharic, BBC Hausa, and BBC Persian reporting. Simultaneously, Houthi forces claimed ballistic missile and drone strikes on Riyadh — including a reported hit on a fuel depot near the airport that caused flight delays — while Saudi Arabia stated it successfully intercepted the long-range missiles. Saudi forces conducted retaliatory airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. Oman canceled a planned regional summit on the Strait of Hormuz shipping channel, citing the need to 'create an environment for constructive dialogue,' and South Korean civil society groups demonstrated against U.S. pressure to contribute troops to any Iran conflict.
