In a dramatic escalation of the Middle East conflict, the United States has ordered the first mandatory evacuation of embassy staff in Saudi Arabia. The move comes after a series of Iranian strikes targeting U.S. and allied facilities across the region, signalling a heightened threat level. Non-essential personnel and their families are being pulled from the kingdom as Washington warns of rising security risks. The evacuation follows retaliatory actions by Iran after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, marking a dangerous new phase in the conflict.
