Saudi Arabia has postponed its flagship Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference until 2027, organisers announced on Monday, citing an escalation of missile and drone attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants in recent weeks. The decision follows a Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on 10 October that killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300 others.
