The United States has advised its citizens to reconsider travel to Saudi Arabia, citing the risk of Iranian drone and missile attacks, armed conflict and terrorism. The US State Department said Iran has targeted Saudi cities, airports, military bases, diplomatic sites and energy facilities. It also warned of threats from Iran-backed Houthi forces and advised Americans not to travel to areas near the Yemen border because of terrorism risks. The advisory comes as tensions rise across the region, with Saudi Arabia recently issuing security alerts for Mecca and other areas. The US travel advisory remains at Level 3: Reconsider Travel.
