US Orders Staff to Leave Amid Security Risks

The US has ordered non-emergency staff to leave Saudi Arabia due to escalating security risks, per JPost. The move follows a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure and airspace.

Saudi Arabia reported intercepting a Houthi drone targeting Mecca, Al Jazeera notes. The Houthis have also claimed responsibility for multiple attacks on airports and oil facilities across the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has urged former US President Donald Trump to allow diplomatic negotiations with Iran before resorting to military action, JPost reports. This comes as regional tensions intensify amid ongoing missile threats.
