After two drones struck the US Embassy in Riyadh, President Donald Trump signaled that Washington may not immediately deploy “boots on the ground” inside Iran, even as he warned Tehran of a powerful American response. Speaking from the White House and in an interview with NewsNation, Trump said Iran would soon witness the consequences of the embassy attack and the killing of American soldiers. While refusing to rule out escalation, he indicated that a full-scale ground invasion may not be necessary at this stage. The attack on the US Embassy in Riyadh comes amid widening conflict across the region. The U.S. Department of State confirmed UAV impacts on the embassy’s roof and perimeter. Staff reportedly sheltered in secure areas, with no injuries. Saudi authorities described limited fire damage and minor structural impact. WATCH

Iran’s missile and drone strikes on Gulf nations including the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia have triggered fury across the region.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations have condemned Iran’s actions as violations of sovereignty and are now holding emergency meetings to plan a coordinated military and defense response.
