特朗普政府已下令非紧急状态的美国政府雇员及其家属撤离沙特阿拉伯，原因是沙特境内胡塞武装袭击事件加剧，随着唐纳德·特朗普总统考虑对这个受伊朗支持的组织采取直接军事行动，局势进一步升级。
美国国务院发言人汤米·皮戈特周三证实，此次强制撤离令仅适用于沙特阿拉伯，驳斥了有关华盛顿正准备从海湾地区大范围撤离外交人员的报道。
皮戈特称：“美国国务院仅下令沙特阿拉伯境内的非紧急状态美国政府雇员及其家属撤离。”

此次撤离令发布之际，胡塞武装导弹和无人机袭击激增，已造成平民死亡、航空出行中断，并迫使沙特紧急寻求更多导弹防御系统。
皮戈特补充道：“受伊朗支持的胡塞武装日益频繁地针对沙特阿拉伯发动敌对行动，包括袭击民用机场和其他关键基础设施，造成平民伤亡和严重的旅行中断。”
唐纳德·特朗普总统正在考虑是否对胡塞武装发动直接美国军事打击。胡塞武装不断扩大的导弹和无人机行动已日益威胁到沙特的城市、机场和能源基础设施。
根据武装冲突地点与事件数据项目的统计，本月胡塞武装针对沙特的袭击和未遂袭击在一周内增加了一倍多，自10月5日以来，利雅得、吉赞、奈季兰、达曼和艾卜哈的机场成为袭击目标。
最致命的一轮袭击击中了利雅得的哈立德国王国际机场，造成至少13人死亡，300多人受伤。

不断升级的袭击已促使沙特向其盟友寻求更多军事支持。英国周二宣布将部署台风战斗机，协助防御沙特城市和关键基础设施，埃及也向沙特提供协助，以色列同样伸出援手。
利雅得还向华盛顿请求提供更多导弹拦截弹，但美国官员警告称，全球需求正令现有供应紧张。
“我今天也与沙特阿拉伯进行了沟通；他们需要拦截弹。以色列需要拦截弹。我们也需要拦截弹。世界上每个国家都需要拦截弹，”美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥周二表示。
鲁比奥将这种武器描述为“可能是当前国防领域最供不应求的产品”，并承认美国必须在盟友的请求与自身军事需求之间取得平衡。
日益严峻的威胁暴露了防御沙特广袤领土的难度，即便拥有世界上最先进的部分防空系统，也难以应对相对廉价的导弹和无人机。
“沙特阿拉伯幅员辽阔，需要保护的范围极广，这也凸显了我们全球面临的更大威胁：一个相对弱小的非国家行为体，即便对一个先进且耗资巨大的军事力量而言，也能构成严峻挑战，”查塔姆研究所研究员法里亚·阿尔-穆斯利米在周三发布的采访中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“胡塞武装无需投入大量资金，就能造成巨大损失，”他说道。
特朗普尚未排除对胡塞武装采取直接军事干预的可能性，他本月早些时候告诉记者，美国可能会加入沙特对该组织的打击行动。
“我们或许会这么做。我们正在评估，”特朗普说。“我们会做出决定。我们行动非常迅速。”

The Trump administration has ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia as deadly Houthi attacks intensify across the kingdom, raising the stakes as President Donald Trump weighs direct military action against the Iran-backed group.
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott confirmed Wednesday that the mandatory departure order applies only to Saudi Arabia, pushing back on reports that Washington was preparing a broader evacuation of diplomatic personnel across the Gulf.
“The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only,” Pigott said.

The order comes amid a surge in Houthi missile and drone attacks that has left civilians dead, disrupted air travel and sent Saudi Arabia scrambling for additional missile defenses.
“Iranian-supported Houthis have increasingly engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions,” Pigott added.
President Donald Trump is weighing whether to launch direct U.S. military strikes against the Houthis, whose expanding missile and drone campaign has increasingly threatened Saudi cities, airports and energy infrastructure.
Houthi strikes and attempted strikes on Saudi Arabia more than doubled in a single week this month, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, with airports in Riyadh, Jizan, Najran, Dammam and Abha targeted since Oct. 5.
The deadliest barrage struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing at least 13 people and wounding more than 300.

The escalating attacks have prompted Saudi Arabia to seek additional military support from its allies. Britain announced Tuesday that it would deploy Typhoon fighter jets to help defend Saudi cities and critical infrastructure, while Egypt is assisting the kingdom and Israel has offered to help.
Riyadh has also asked Washington for additional missile interceptors, though U.S. officials have warned that global demand is straining available supplies.
“I also talked to Saudi Arabia today; they’d like interceptors. Israel would like interceptors. We would like interceptors. Every country in the world would like interceptors,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday.
Rubio described the weapons as “probably the most in-demand product right now in the defense field,” acknowledging that the United States must balance requests from allies against its own military requirements.
The growing threat has exposed the difficulty of defending Saudi Arabia’s vast territory against relatively inexpensive missiles and drones, even with some of the world’s most sophisticated air defenses.
“Saudi Arabia is a huge geography to protect, and this speaks to a larger threat we’re facing globally: a relatively small nonstate actor can pose a serious challenge to even a sophisticated and extremely expensive military,” Farea Al-Muslimi, a research fellow at Chatham House, told Fox News Digital in an interview published Wednesday.
“The Houthis can impose enormous costs without having to spend very much themselves,” he said.
Trump has left open the possibility of direct military intervention against the Houthis, telling reporters earlier this month that the U.S. could join Saudi strikes against the group.
“We may. We’re gonna look at it,” Trump said. “We’ll make a decision. We move very quickly.”
