US State Department Urges Citizens to Reconsider Travel to Saudi Arabia

⚠️ RIYADH — Washington just told its citizens Saudi Arabia isn't safe to visit. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Reconsider travel" is State Dept's second-highest warning tier — one step below "Do Not Travel." With Houthi drones intercepted over Mecca and Saudi energy sites under sustained attack, Washington is formally acknowledging civilian risk inside a nominal partner state. This also signals US intelligence sees escalation risk inside Saudi borders exceeding what Riyadh publicly admits.
