US Secretary of State Pompeo arrives in Saudi Arabia as Iran's navy chief warns Iranian forces could down more American spy drones.

Pompeo is conducting consultations during a short tour of the Middle East, including visits to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
Iran’s naval commander, Rear Adm. Hossein Khanzadi, threatened Washington, saying that Tehran is capable of shooting down other American spy drones that violate Iranian airspace. Pompeo, considered a hard-liner in the Trump administration, is expected to meet with Saudi King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi city of Jiddah, before heading to Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, another close U.S. ally and partner.
The Houthi rebels claimed they used bomb-laden drones in the attack on the Abha airport, the second in less than two weeks. Trump said he backed away from the planned strikes after learning that about 150 people would be killed, but he said the military option remained on the table.“No one has granted them a hunting license in the Middle East. As President Trump said on Friday our military is rebuilt, new and ready to go,” Bolton said during an appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, himself a longtime and outspoken Iran critic.
