Summary
US embassies urged Americans across the Middle East to exercise heightened caution, warning that renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia could trigger wider travel disruption.
Embassy notices cited possible flight cancellations, airspace closures and other transport interruptions, signaling concern that the attacks could spill into regional aviation and security risks.
Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier than planned from Camp David, though officials did not confirm any link between his schedule change and the escalation.
Trump later told Fox News he was in a "deciding mode" and that "very big things" would happen soon regarding the US-Iran war, underscoring the broader regional tension behind the alert.
