Concussion of Iranian missile causes minor damage to US Consulate

While no US personnel were injured, both the Tel Aviv consulate and the US Embassy in Jerusalem have been temporarily closed as a safety precaution

Tel Aviv: The American Consulate in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage from the concussion of an Iranian missile landing nearby, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee said on Monday.

Huckabee said in a post on X there were no injuries to American personnel but that the consulate in Tel Aviv and Embassy in Jerusalem would remain closed through the day as a precaution. The damage came amid a new wave of Iranian missile attacks on Israel in retaliation for Israel’s sweeping attacks on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
