The United States has issued a security warning to its citizens across 12 Middle Eastern countries amid concerns over potential threats from Iran and Yemen’s Houthi movement, as fighting in Yemen intensifies.
The alerts, issued by US embassies across the region, cite possible threats targeting American citizens and interests.
Meanwhile, Saudi Civil Defence briefly issued a threat alert for the southern city of Jizan before lifting it shortly afterwards.
In Iraq, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed hope that the Islamic world could resolve its challenges and differences during a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Baghdad.
On the Yemen front, a Houthi military spokesperson claimed that Saudi aircraft had carried out 110 air strikes and missile attacks across the country in the previous 24 hours.
The developments come amid heightened regional security concerns, with diplomatic efforts continuing to address tensions across the Middle East.
