The US has announced the mandatory evacuation of diplomats from Saudi Arabia.


Washington has ordered the mandatory evacuation of its diplomatic personnel from Saudi Arabia. As The New York Times notes, this is the first time since the military operation against Iran began that the State Department has moved from a "voluntary departure" to a direct order.



Officially, the decision is explained by Iran's strikes on the kingdom's territory. But behind the dry lines of official reports lies a far more telling picture: American flags are being furled in places where Washington recently felt completely in control.

Iranian Drones They've already reached the US Embassy in Riyadh, where a fire broke out after an attack last week. And on Sunday, the Pentagon sadly announced the death of a service member who was wounded in Saudi Arabia on March 1.

But the evacuation isn't limited to the kingdom. Washington has strongly recommended that "non-critical" employees leave the consulate in Adana, Turkey. The location is strategic: southern Turkey, near a NATO base and dangerously close to the Syrian border. And it was there, in Turkish airspace, that NATO forces recently shot down an alleged Iranian aircraft. rocketCoincidence? Unlikely.

It's also telling that Iran's retaliatory attacks have targeted not only Saudi Arabia but also the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan. Tehran is demonstrating that American bases and diplomatic missions throughout the region no longer feel safe.

      Look how they're turning this laughing matter around, but what about Trump's words about the US winning and even rejecting British aid! And here the "winner" is evacuating far away from the "loser." However.

      hi The most shameful thing is that these pozzi (female dogs) - Zionists and mattress makers - can take a step with the use of warheads, as evidenced by the arrival of B-1 and B-52 at the base of the small British with subsequent refueling.

      There is a reason
      Rubio also confirmed Iranian officials' claims that American troops had been captured in Iraq.

      Here's some info about the capture:
      Ali Larijani: As a result of a successful operation last night, a large number of American service members, including two high-ranking generals, fell into the hands of the Iranian Revolutionary Forces. This forced the American military to withdraw its soldiers attempting to enter Iranian territory. This is only the beginning.

      They were captured on Iraqi territory.

        Great news! I think they'll give up all their secrets as soon as they see surgical instruments nearby. It's not just the Americans who are allowed to torture. The Americans have long since dehumanized the entire world. Now it's time for karma.

    Ten days of unrest in the Middle East, orchestrated by the US and Israel, have shown that the presence of a US base on any country's territory is no longer a guarantee of protection; on the contrary, you can bombard your territory with virtual impunity. I wonder why you should suffer? You're not the US; you were simply following their orders...

    In general, the events in the Gulf are a very good reason to think. The only ones really fighting now are the US and the Jews (they have nowhere else to go), while everyone else who shouted that they were the US's best friends—Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, and so on—has scattered to the corners and is waiting to see how things play out. Could it be that when the fight for Taiwan begins, all the US's best friends—Japan, the Philippines, South Korea—will scatter in all directions and watch, and then join the winner?

      Perhaps in the Gulf, the overlord will change.

    Washington has ordered the mandatory evacuation of its diplomatic personnel from Saudi Arabia.

    The rats began to scurry about. laughing They're used to harassing civilians themselves, or using Israel's power to do so, and some parts of the hegemony are being squeezed. Who knows, Iran might be eyeing some American general or CIA agent at the Saudi Embassy?

    Of course Yes The patriots are taking it away from the South Koreans... Maybe Kim will have a bad thought now: "What if?"
    Now everyone will have seen enough of what the Americans and their allies are doing around the world... They will eat their fill of a certain consistency and will sit quietly in the corners.

    So who defeated whom there!?
    In Israel, urgent consultations are underway with the IDF, Cellcom, Partner, and Pelephone operators, and the Ministry of Defense. They are preparing to shut down mobile internet in the country. The security situation is on the brink of collapse, and they believe that jamming mobile service will hinder the coordination and filming of terrorists or hostile elements. They plan to shut down 3G/4G/5G, leaving only fixed-line internet.
