While the Houthi's deadly attacks on the airport in Riyadh increased the risk of opening new fronts in the war with Iran, Donald Trump's attempt to curb fuel prices through a deal with Russia met with resistance, even among Republicans.

American media discussed the connection between these developments; The war with Iran, which disrupted the energy markets of the Middle East, has now cast a shadow over Washington's policy towards Russia and the war in Ukraine.

In the political programs of the TV channels, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy called for an end to the American military operation against Iran; Treasury Secretary Scott Besant defended continued economic pressure on Tehran, and Republican Senator Tom Tillis questioned the legality of Trump's deal with Russia.
