US Embassy in Riyadh Attacked as Iran Steps Up Saudi Strikes (3)

Two drones struck near the US Embassy in Riyadh, pulling Saudi Arabia into a widening conflict among Iran, the US and Israel, and prompting President Donald Trump to vow retaliation.

Trump told NewsNation the US would hit back, saying “you’ll find out soon” what form that would take. He added it likely won’t be necessary to put boots on the ground, the news outlet reported him as saying.

The embassy incident resulted in a “limited fire and minor material damage to the building,” according to a statement on X from Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defense.
