Iran War Puts U.S. Diplomatic Missions in the Crosshairs

“The U.S. war with Iran has triggered the broadest and fastest wave of attacks against U.S. embassies and consulates in the post-9/11 era, current and former officials said, as the Trump administration grapples with continuing threats to its overseas posts,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The series of missile and drone strikes has yielded no injuries to U.S. personnel and collectively caused limited damage to U.S. diplomatic compounds.”

“Taken together, however, the barrage underscores how Iran and its supporters are widening retaliation beyond U.S. military targets or even the region itself.”
