In response to the incident, the U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia issued a “shelter in place” advisory for American citizens located in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dhahran. The embassy’s security alert, also shared on X, advised U.S. nationals to remain indoors and curtail any non-essential travel to military installations across the region.

Further insight from CNN, based on information from two sources, suggests that the drones involved in the attack are suspected to have originated from Iran, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the area.

CNN, citing two sources, reported that the attack was from “suspected Iranian drones.”

The embassy was reportedly empty at the time of the drone strike, which is believed to have come from Iran, according to Fox News.

President Trump told NewsNation in a brief interview on Monday night that the public “will find out soon” about possible US retaliation to the embassy attack. 

The State Department did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
