Videos of explosions at the US Consulate in Dubai’s Al Seef Road surfaced on social media on Tuesday amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East after the US-Israeli strikes in Iran Saturday. Later, CNN confirmed that the UAE consulate has been hit in a suspected Iranian drone attack.

Marco Rubio said all US consulate staff in Dubai are safe, noting personnel were drawn down in advance.

The Media Office of Dubai shared an update on their X handle saying that the drone attack caused a “limited” fire at the consulate which was extinguished. No injuries have been reported, so far.
