The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia has urged Americans in the kingdom to take extra precautions and avoid traveling to U.S. military installations across the region, as Iranian officials issued fresh warnings that Tehran is prepared to respond forcefully after President Donald Trump hinted that Washington is not ruling out strikes over protester deaths.
In a security alert on Jan. 14, the mission said its personnel have been advised to “exercise increased caution and limit non-essential travel to any military installations in the region,” and recommended American citizens in Saudi Arabia take the same precautions.
