Iran struck the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia with drones as Operation Epic Fury expands and economic fallout from the conflict grows.
Iran struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with drones early Tuesday as the widening Middle East conflict spreads across the region. The attack caused minor damage and a small fire. No injuries were reported.
Israel and the United States pounded Iran's capital, Tehran, with strikes Monday as the war expands to multiple fronts. An Iranian broadcast facility was hit in the latest round of bombings, though no injuries were reported. Hundreds have reportedly died in Iran as the conflict escalates.
President Donald Trump says the U.S. military campaign against Iran could last more than a month. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated strikes by the U.S. will only intensify.

"The hardest hits are yet to come from the U.S. military," Rubio said.
