US Embassies in Middle East Targeted by Drones, Mobs

Two Iranian drones struck the U.S. embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in a limited fire and minor damage to the building, according to Reuters. No injuries were reported.

The strike on the embassy comes as Iran retaliates against Israel and U.S. military and diplomatic facilities in the Middle East after a joint attack by the two countries beginning on Saturday.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense says it has intercepted eight drones near Riyadh and Al-Kharj.

The U.S. State Department on Tuesday morning warned of “a threat of imminent missile and UAV attacks over Dhahran,” a Saudi Arabian city on the Persian Gulf.

“Do not come to the U.S. Consulate,” the U.S. State Department of Consular Affairs wrote on X.

“The U.S. Consulate in Dhahran urges U.S. citizens in Dhahran to shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and to stay alert in case of additional future attacks. U.S. Consulate personnel are sheltering in place,” the State Department warned.

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia: There is a threat of imminent missile and UAV attacks over Dhahran. Do not come to the U.S. Consulate. Take cover immediately in your residence on the lowest available floor and away from windows. Do not go outside.

A drone also struck the U.S. embassy compound in Kuwait on Monday, the New York Times first reported, and the embassy announced it has closed until further notice.

Protestors and supporters of the Iranian regime stormed the U.S. Consulate in Pakistan on Sunday. U.S. Marines opened fire on demonstrators, according to Reuters, and 10 deaths were reported after demonstrators breached the walls of the compound. It was not immediately clear whether Marines struck any of the demonstrators and if shots were fired from other security forces and police responding to the breach.  

Demonstrations in Pakistan after the strikes on Iran have resulted in more than 20 deaths across the country, Reuters reports.  

The State Department on Monday warned Americans across 16 countries in the region to leave, Reuters reported. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem announced it had given a “shelter in place” directive to U.S. government employees and their families, while adding it “is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel.”

The Trump administration has said that the campaign against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury, is not intended to be an extended conflict.

“President Trump will not get the United States into a years-long conflict with no clear objective,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday night.

“Iran can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon,” Vance added. “That is the goal of this operation, and President Trump will see it through to completion.”

The joint U.S.-Israel attack resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday. The next leader of Iran remains unclear.
