US orders some diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia as fears of escalating Houthi attacks rise

The United States has ordered some diplomats and their families to leave Saudi Arabia due to increasing tensions. This decision follows attacks by Yemen's Iran-supported Houthi rebels on critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has been operating under restricted staffing, and travel alerts have been issued for government personnel. Meanwhile, drone attacks in Saudi Arabia continue to create security concerns and disrupt operations.
