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.
Here’s one video:
