”US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says the US embassy branch in Tel Aviv suffered damage from a volley of Iranian missiles that targeted the area early Monday.
“Some minor damage from concussions of Iranian missile hits near Embassy Branch in @TelAviv but no injuries to US personnel,” he writes on X….”

The embassy annex is in Tel Aviv, while the embassy proper is in Jerusalem (where it should be). I wonder how much the Iranians will dare to strike Jerusalem.
They’re liable to do anything to save face on their way out.
Do you think they’ll deliberately lash out at U.S. interests or personnel?
They’re most definitely getting an earful from Secretary of State Rubio over this “near hit”.
They may be a bit preoccupied. That said, they will not want to cross over into the FO phase of this particular scenario.
Thanks for the reminder that PDJT in his first term came through like a champ for Israel and recognized their national capital.
Just because a particular act involves or includes, in part, symbolism, doesn’t mean it is not hella timely and significant. Israel undoubtedly deserves the ordinary respect due to a sovereign.

Since it’s not the main embassy, Trump has some wiggle room. Not sure which way he will go. He can justifiably decide not to engage or to engage at this point. Personally, I hope he gives Israel the bunker busters and bombers needed to destroy remaining facilities and take out the ayatollah. No boots on the ground, let the non radicals sort out their country, but take out the leadership.
What is it with Iran and U.S. embassies? They’re either stuck in the 70’s or stuck in the 7th century.
You sound so excited! No, a random hit doesn’t mean we’re in.
I thought our embassy was moved to Jerusalem during the Trump 1st term!!!!
It was, this is an annex. And it sounds like a few broken windows from the concussion of a missile hit in the vicinity as they shot at Tel Aviv. Despite the salivating for a Trump war, this is not the same as then targeting a US base over there somewhere, Hell, we blew up the Chinese embassy in Belgrade with 5 precision bombs from a B-2 while we were attacking Serbia.
The Boltons, Grahams, Levins etc want their next neocon war.
If they do, flatten the Al Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount and blame it on an errant Iranian missile.
We need an embassy annex in Tel Aviv because the night life is better there than old stodgy Jerusalem.
Interesting. I stay a block from the Embassy Annex on Hayarkon.
“The Imperial” bar is across the street from the Embassy Annex in Tel Aviv. It won “Best Bar in Middle East and Africa” four years running. I’m friends with the manager. Worth the trip…
The one thing Bibi, *his* buddy Putin, and Putin’s buddy the shah, plus Xi Jinping, all have in common along with every Western European leader + Zelensky is: no one wants to give Trump the “win” of peace and a deal. 🙄 They’re all buddy buddy in the end in that regard. 🙄🙄🙄
Only if you want to be. Don’t. Don’t.
I thought we moved our emboto Jerusalem in Trump’s first term…
“If they do, flatten the Al Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount and blame it on an errant Iranian missile.”
I was thinking the same thing while watching Fox a couple of nights ago. I thought to myself “Wouldn’t it be funnier than hell to see an Iranian missile hit the Dome of the Rock or the Al Aqsa Mosque?”
