Utos ng US na umalis, para lang sa Saudi Arabia at hindi sa buong Gulf, ayon sa State Department
✕ Ang pahayag
All US embassy staff in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries have been ordered to leave immediately.✓ Ang katotohanan
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.

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.
