EUA mandam diplomatas deixarem Arábia Saudita em meio a ataques dos Houthis

O Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos ordenou que alguns diplomatas e seus familiares deixem suas missões na Arábia Saudita, informaram autoridades norte-americanas à Reuters.

Além disso, o governo de Donald Trump planeja retirar familiares de várias outras missões norte-americanas no Golfo Pérsico, ainda de acordo com as fontes.

O porta-voz do Departamento de Estado, Tommy Pigott, afirmou em uma postagem no X que o departamento ordenou a saída de “funcionários não essenciais do governo dos EUA e seus familiares apenas na Arábia Saudita”, em meio aos ataques dos Houthis, um grupo apoiado pelo Irã, do Iêmen contra alvos civis no país.

O governo Trump havia enviado de volta alguns integrantes do corpo diplomático à região nos últimos meses, depois que muitos haviam sido retirados quando o Irã lançou ataques de retaliação contra instalações norte-americanas após o início da guerra dos EUA e de Israel contra o Irã, no final de fevereiro.

“Os Houthis, apoiados pelo Irã, têm se envolvido cada vez mais em hostilidades contra a Arábia Saudita, incluindo ataques a aeroportos civis e outras infraestruturas críticas, resultando em vítimas civis e graves interrupções nas viagens”, justificou Pigott.

Quatro autoridades norte-americanas disseram à Reuters que as missões dos EUA em outros países do Golfo Pérsico também estariam ordenando que familiares deixassem o local.

Pigott não se pronunciou sobre mudanças em outras missões fora da Arábia Saudita.

A embaixada dos EUA em Riade emitiu um alerta de segurança nesta quarta-feira (21) sobre possíveis novos ataques dos houthis à Arábia Saudita, após recentes ataques mortais, incluindo um ao aeroporto de Riade.

US to issue ordered departure of personnel from Gulf embassies

The US State Department is preparing to issue an ordered departure of some personnel and family members from US embassies across the Gulf region, three US officials said on Wednesday.

The move was due to a possible resumption of hostilities, particularly with Iran-aligned Houthi militia in Yemen, two of the US officials said.

The US Embassy in Riyadh issued a security alert on Wednesday about possible further attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia, after recent deadly strikes including on Riyadh’s airport.

Two of the US officials said the ordered departures would potentially involve the evacuation of all personnel and their families from the US Mission to Saudi Arabia.
