American diplomats are being evacuated from Saudi Arabia

The U.S. State Department has urged non-essential government personnel and their families to leave Saudi Arabia due to attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels. This directive may soon extend to other American citizens in the Gulf region. The decision follows increased Houthi assaults targeting Saudi infrastructure and airports. The U.S. embassy in Riyadh has warned of further Houthi attacks, particularly after drone strikes affected both the embassy and CIA operations. The ongoing conflict has disrupted global energy trade and impacted Gulf economies. Recent attacks have resulted in casualties, highlighting the escalating violence in the region.
