Iranian drones struck the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, causing limited fire and minor damage, while the US and Israel continued airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and military infrastructure. The attack followed similar strikes on the US Embassy in Kuwait, prompting evacuations of non-emergency personnel from multiple Gulf nations. The escalating conflict has already killed hundreds, predominantly in Iran, where explosions and airstrikes caused widespread damage. Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz sent global oil and natural gas prices soaring, impacting energy markets and business operations across the region. Hundreds dead mark a significant escalation in a conflict that began with Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq.
