L'ordine di partenza USA riguarda solo l'Arabia Saudita, non tutto il Golfo, secondo il Dipartimento di Stato
✕ L'affermazione
All US embassy staff in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries have been ordered to leave immediately.✓ I fatti
On 21 October, US State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the ordered departure covers non-emergency US government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only, citing Houthi attacks. It does not cover all staff, and the State Department did not announce it for the rest of the Gulf.
Cosa non sappiamo ancora
Reuters, citing US officials, reported that other US missions in the Gulf may also tell families to leave. We will update this check if that is announced.
