The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv was damaged by an Iranian missile strike in the early hours of Monday, in a significant escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran.
The attack, which was part of a broader Iranian response to Israeli military actions, resulted in broken glass and shattered windows at the embassy.
There were no injuries reported among the U.S. diplomatic staff, but the embassy and consulate have been temporarily closed, with staff ordered to shelter in place for safety.
The incident marks the first direct threat to U.S. diplomatic missions in the region amid the ongoing conflict.
Both nations have suffered significant casualties, with Israeli emergency services reporting multiple deaths and injuries.
The situation on the ground remains tense, with continuous exchanges of strikes between the two countries.
U.S. President Donald Trump had called for a resolution to the conflict, urging for de-escalation while acknowledging the current hostilities.
The world will be watching closely to see how he reacts to the impact of this attack on the U.S. Embassy.
