Security Alert: US Mission in Saudi Arabia (November 10, 2026).
US citizens are urged to consult the Saudi Arabia Travel Alert for additional safety information and travel guidance.
Americans currently in the Middle East should increase their vigilance due to the increased threat of armed attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis and Iran's efforts to attack American government officials in the region. The Iranian-backed Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure, resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. These hostilities could quickly escalate beyond this immediate area.
