The US Embassy in Riyadh has announced that the State Department has ordered nonessential government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia. This decision comes amid ongoing security threats from Iran-backed Houthi forces, who have been conducting missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets. The order reflects heightened concerns over the safety of US personnel in the region but does not indicate a full evacuation of the embassy. Recent attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, including a deadly strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport earlier this month.
