USA prepare to withdraw some diplomatic personnel from Saudi Arabia

The U.S. State Department has ordered most embassy staff and their families in Saudi Arabia to leave due to increasing attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Only essential personnel will remain. The decision follows a rise in assaults on civilian targets, including airports and critical infrastructure, leading to civilian casualties. Recent attacks have intensified, prompting the U.S. to withdraw some diplomatic staff from the Gulf region. A recent strike on an Aramco oil field resulted in fatalities, highlighting the ongoing threat to Saudi Arabia's infrastructure. The Riyadh airport was temporarily closed after a deadly airstrike earlier this month.
