The United States has ordered some diplomats and their families to leave Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions with Houthi militants. The move comes as the Iran-backed group intensified its strikes from Yemen, targeting key Saudi infrastructure.
On Wednesday, attacks on an Aramco oil site and an eastern airport resulted in at least four fatalities. The escalation has raised concerns over regional stability and the safety of foreign personnel in the kingdom.
The US decision reflects growing apprehension over the Houthi threat, which has been backed by Iran. The situation underscores the broader geopolitical risks in the Middle East, particularly involving Saudi Arabia and its adversaries.
