Khaberni - The U.S. State Department said on Tuesday that it is monitoring potential threats to Americans in Saudi Arabia, and warned all of its citizens in the country to stay in their homes.
The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia stated in a release: "We are following reports of threats targeting gatherings of American citizens... We advise American citizens that hotels and other gathering places, including companies and American educational institutions, may be potential targets."
The embassy asked Americans to stay in their homes and stay away from windows until further notice.
The warning came after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, according to official media, announced that it would target American companies in the Middle East starting from the first of April, in response to the attacks that targeted Iran.
The White House said on Tuesday that the US military is prepared to thwart any Iranian attacks, in response to threats by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard against American companies in the region.
A White House official, who asked not to be named, said, "The US military is prepared, and has been prepared, to thwart any Iranian attacks, as evidenced by the 90 percent decrease in ballistic missile and drone attacks carried out by this terrorist regime."
