ADVERTISEMENTThe U.S. abruptly called off military strikes against Iran in response to the shooting down of an unmanned American surveillance drone on Thursday. The Sunday attack by the Yemeni rebels, known as Houthis, targeted the Saudi airport in Abha. The Saudi Press Agency reported that a Syrian resident of Saudi Arabia had been killed, but did not identify the nationalities of those wounded. Also Sunday, U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was traveling to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for talks on Iran. His meetings in Saudi Arabia will be in the Red Sea city of Jiddah, about 315 miles (505 kilometers) north of where the Saudi airport was struck.
