The U.S. intelligence community has issued an alert to all Americans on American soil in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding region as of October 24, 2026.
They have learned from inside sources that Americans are now being targeted by the Houthis. According to this information, the Iran-backed Houthis will target Americans with drones and missiles in order to increase pressure.
The American embassy is issuing a travel alert to all American travelers, urging them to avoid the region:
“Reconsider any travel to Saudi Arabia due to the risks of drone and missile attacks targeting American interests by Iran and the Iran-backed Houthis, as well as armed conflict, terrorism, exit bans, and local laws regarding activity on social media. Some areas carry increased risk.”
The embassy confirms that armed conflict is escalating and that terrorism remains a concern in Saudi Arabia since attacks can occur with little or no warning, again urging caution around gatherings.
An alert that directly brings to mind WWE Crown Jewel 2026, scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The president of TKO reaffirmed this week that the show remains planned in the country, but that the situation is being closely monitored with a relocation plan if necessary.
WWE has yet to comment on this latest alert that was issued today.
