The US embassy in Tel Aviv was damaged during an Iranian missile blitz not long after Trump had warned he would unleash hell if America was ‘attacked in any way
In a series of updates shared to X, The US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said the Embassy suffered ‘minor damage’ amid the barrage of missiles which rained down on Israel Monday morning. He said there was ‘some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch… but no injuries to US personnel’.
President Trump had earlier warned that Iran would experience ‘the full strength’ of the American military if it attacked the US amid the conflict with Israel, despite reports he had vetoed Israel’s plans to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader.
He told Tehran that if ‘we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before’.
Meanwhile US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is now heading towards the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran spirals into all-out war.
The Mail Online reports: Iranian missiles rained down on Israel in the early hours of Monday, damaging the US Embassy as Tehran called for its allies to form an Islamic Army to wage war against Tel Aviv.
At least 24 Israelis were killed and dozens more injured when a barrage of Iranian missiles breached Israel’s multi-layered defense systems, hitting both Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa.
The strikes destroyed homes and residential buildings, hours after Israel killed three more high-ranking security figures, destroyed Iran’s main nuclear facility in Natanz and raised the prospect of a regime change.
Iranians have been filmed shouting anti-regime slogans from windows and rooftops in Tehran and Karaj, according to independent media, with chants said to include ‘Death to the dictator’ and ‘Death to Khamenei’.
More than 220 Iranians have been killed and 1,200 injured, according to authorities, as Israeli strikes have continued to hit the country since Friday.
But Iran has shown no signs of backing down, signaling its intention to involve allies in waging war against its arch-foe by forming an ‘Islamic Army’ and threatening to leave the Jewish state ‘uninhabitable’.
