Iran hits United States Embassy in Saudi Arabia 'Drone Strike'

Iran hit the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia’s capital with a drone strike early Tuesday as it kept striking targets around the region, while the United States and Israel pounded Iran with airstrikes in what US President Donald Trump suggested was just the start of a relentless campaign that could last more than a month.

The attack from two drones on the US Embassy in Riyadh caused a “limited fire” and minor damage,



according to Saudi Arabia’s Defence Ministry, which did not release further details. It follows an attack the day before on the US Embassy in Kuwait.

The expansion of Iranian retaliation across the Gulf and the intensity of the Israeli and American attacks, the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the lack of any apparent exit plan portend a possible prolonged conflict with far-reaching consequences.
