BREAKING | US prepares regional embassy evacuations ​The US State Department is preparing to issue an ordered departure for non-essential diplomatic staff and their families from embassies across the Persian Gulf, three US officials revealed to Reuters. According to two of the officials, the ordered departures could entail a complete evacuation of all personnel and dependents from the US Mission in Saudi Arabia. The warning follows a security alert issued by the US Embassy in Riyadh standardizing emergency measures after recent retaliatory strikes by Yemen's Armed Forces targeting key infrastructure deep inside Saudi territory, including Riyadh's airport.
